Description: | 1: A copper-alloy composite hooked tag. This tag has a triangular back sheet, measuring 21mm in length by 19.9mm in width. That there would have originally have been a front sheet with three circular bosses is clear due to the traces of silvery solder which remain. The edges of the back plate have V-shaped decorative notches cut into them. On the back face there is a seperate copper-alloy rectangular loop, either end of which is pushed through the back plate, and a copper-alloy incomplete hook, the end of which is also pushed through the back sheet.
2: The plate of a cast copper-alloy hooked tag. Only the rectangular loop and part of the open work plate now survives. It is rectangular in shape and measures 18.7mm in width and 15.1mm in surviving length. Beneath the rectangular loop the rest of the plate consists of an open work figure of eight with central grooves.
3: A copper-alloy hooked tag now in two parts. Measuring 29.5mm in length and 14.9mm in width. The rectangular loop is now seperate from the rectangular shaped plate. The plate is open work with two parallel open work archs and moulded decoration. The hook is rectangul in shape and also incomplete as its tip is missing.
These hooked tags are all early post medieval in date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1540
