Description: | Sheet copper alloy hooked tag, probably Early Medieval, c.8th or 9th century. Simple triangular sheet tag, with a hook formed by re-curving the apex. There is a single attachment hole at the opposite end to the hook. The obverse is decorated with four punched ring and dot motifs running longitudinally down the tag. The hook is slightly thicker metal (c.1.3mm) than the rest of the tag (c.0.8mm). This is unusual in having just one attachment hole, rather than two. Length 21.78mm, width 9.40mm, thickness (including hook) 4.70mm, thickness (not including hook) c.0.8mm, weight 0.80g. | 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: | 700
