Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag of probable 16th to 17th century AD date.
The central plate has a heart-shaped openwork central section with an internal projection at the top, possibly in the form of a flower head. A small projection also extends upwards from the plate into the sub-rectangular loop. The two outer sides of the plate have moulded decoration, each side having a central loop (possibly a sewing hole) between two wedge-shaped ornaments. A moulded collar marks the junction between the plate and the backwards-facing hook, this latter element being of semi-circular section and tapering to a sharp point.
The object measures 31.3mm long, 18.4mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The weight is 2.36g. | 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
