Description: | A copper alloy hooked tag, dating to circa 15th - 17th century. The hooked tag is roughly rectangular in shape, with a hook extending down from the rectangular plate. The longer two sides of the rectangular plate each have four decorative lobes extending outwards from the edge of the plate. At the top of the rectangular plate (integral to the plate) is a rectangular loop. A second moulded rectangular plate of copper alloy sits on top of the main rectangular plate. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. The hook extends down from the main body of the hooked tag. There is a ribbed collar round the neck of the hook itself. The hook then tapers to a slender point, but the hook is broken. The reverse is undecorated.
Similar hooked tags can be seen in Bailey, 1999, pp29-33. | 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: | 1400
