Description: | A small incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of early-medieval date. The fitting is formed from a flat plate, which is triangular in shape. Both terminals are damaged. One would have housed two rivet holes, but both have torn through. The other terminal represents the hook, which is also damaged. The object has corroded to a pitted dark greenish-brown colour. Hooked tags such as this could date from the 8th to 11th centuries; this examples is more likely to be from the later end of that range.
