Description: | An incomplete and heavily corroded copper-alloy hooked tag of probable 16th or 17th century AD date.
The hanger consists of a rectangular frame of the same width as the plate. The plate is of an openwork design, with a central four-petalled flower head surrounded by six circular holes; a further two holes are located at the bottom of the plate, one either side of the hook. The right and left hand edges of the plate are vertical, whilst the underside has two short vertical protrusions, each one forming the outer edge of the aforemented lower holes. The backwards-facing hook has a decorative ridge at the top, is of semi-circular section and has lost its point. The reverse of the piece is flat. It measures 31.8mm high, 13.9mm wide and 2mm thick. The weight is 2.51g. | 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
