Description: | Post medieval hooked tag (or dress hook) cast in one piece from copper alloy. The tag has a rectangular shaped loop protruding from the top for attachment to a strap or ribbon. Attached to the loop there is a fine piece of copper alloy wire bent into a tight ?S? shape. Below the loop is a sub-circular openwork plate which has six tear drop shaped perforations in a flower design. There is a double collar below the plate from which comes a slightly tapering hook. The hook tapers to a sharp point and curves around to the back of the tag. The back of the hook is flat. The tag weighs 1.7g and measures 31.9mm in length (not including the ?S? shaped wire) and 14.4mm in width. | 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: | 1500
