Description: | A slightly damaged copper-alloy hooked tag of probable early post-medieval date.
At the top of the piece is the hanger, which is sub-rectangular in plan and of rectangular section. The plate lies immediately below and is sub-circular. It takes the form of an openwork flowerhead, with a triple-stranded central cross, four holes in each quarter, and outer ring of moulded petals. At the bottom of the plate is a small rectangular section containing two small circular holes. The hook is of trapezoidal section, backwards-facing, and is missing its point. The surface of the object has possible traces of gilding or silvering.
It measures 36.4mm long by 16.4mm wide and 1.7mm thick. The weight is 3.08g. | 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
