Description: | Cast lead hooked tag. This is another style of the common 16th century hooked tags with a lead decorative plate and a tin hook although this particular type are more common around London. This example has a rectangular cast plate with a hatched design and a small collar at the bottom from where the pin protrudes. Down both the sides there is a frilled edge detail. On the reverse of the plate there is an oval shaped void at the top so that the hatching on the front can be seen ? this is likely to be where the tag would have been sewn onto the garment. This example has lost the curved sharp end of the hook. The object measures 31.7mm in length, 18.36mm in width and 5.75mm in thickness and weighs 8.47g. | 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
