Description: | A slightly corroded copper-alloy hooked tag of probable early post-medieval date.
The main part of the object is formed from a piece of sheet copper-alloy, which has been folded double to make a rectangle. This rectangular section has scalloped top and bottom edges and decoration consisting of a double line incised border above and below a panel of punched curves. The backwards-facing hook is made from a flattened and tapering copper-alloy wire. It is sandwiched between the two plates and is held in place by two small copper-alloy rivets.
The object measures 20.5mm high by 11.3mm wide and 7.2mm thick. It weighs 2.04g. | 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
