Description: | Incomplete Middle/Late Saxon hooked tag, oval with twin perforated lugs for attachment. The decoration comprises the remains of an oval niello panel inlaid with silver wire scrolls, within a border of drilled dots. The niello is now mineralised and the pattern of scrolls can no longer be clearly seen. There are tiny lobes at the springing of the hook. The object measures 15 x 30mm. Cf. a similar form Margeson (in Rogerson 1995) fig.39, no.45 (although this lacks the niello and silver wire panel). Thomas (in ASSAH 9, 1996)dates strap-ends with similar niello and silver wire decoration to the 9th century, and notes that with very few exceptions they are confined to East Anglia. | 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: | 800
