Description: | An incomplete copper alloy hooked tag of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It is flat, circular in shape and with an integral hook that is missing its tip due to old breaks. The circular plate has a decorated front face consisting of a central dot surrounded by four incised concentric circles. At the top of the plate are two unevenly spaced and sized circular sewing holes. Extending from the base of the plate is the incomplete but integral hook. This is sub-triangular in form and tapers towards a point but is missing its tip. The back face is flat and undecorated. The entire object measures 12.96mm in width, 20.22mm in length, 1.19mm in thickness, and weighs 0.64g.This hooked tag is of Early-Medieval or Anglo-Saxon date. It is near identical to an example recorded from Suffolk on the PAS database (SF-4CB200) and falls within Read's Early-Medieval Class A Type 2 hooked tags (Read, 2008: nos. 61-62). This suggests a date of between c.600-1100 AD for the current example.
