Description: | A slightly damaged copper-alloy hooked tag of probable early post-medieval date.
The hanger is largely missing, but the remainder is rectangular in section and it is probable that it would originally have been sub-rectangular in plan. The plate lies immediately below and is sub-circular. It takes the form of a flowerhead, with a recessed circular cell at the centre and eight surrounding petals, depicted through the use of recessed cells and a scalloped outer edge to the plate. The lower section of the object is unusual in that, instead of the traditional backwards-facing hook, it has a short lug, with moulded decoration around the edges and a small circular hole.
It measures 31.1mm long by 16.7mm wide and 5.7mm thick. The weight is 6.59g. | 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
