Description: | Incomplete copper alloy early post medieval trefoliate hooked tag, in two parts. One of the roundel trefoils is slightly damaged and the hook part, presumably separate, is missing. A separate domed three-armed mount with projecting rivet fits between the roundels, the rivet broken just before the piercing between the roundels. It possibly secured the hook beneath. A similar example in silver from Gooderstone in Norfolk (Ref. Treasure Annual Report 2001 no.148) describbes the rivet splitting and folding once under the trefoils and the hook being soldered separately. This example also has a boss on top of the rivet. Each trefoil is domed and decorated on the outside surface with an incised circle at the centre of which is a circular punch. The edges are ornate and turned slightly outwards and cut to give an impression of petals. This decoration is similar to the Norfolk example, though not as elaborate, possibly due to its wear. Measures 22x18mm(incomplete), stands 5mm. Weighs 2.48g. 16th/ 17th century. | 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: | 1501
