Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy hooked tag of uncertain date. It has a flat riangular plate that tapers towards the tip, which is folded backwards and is blunt. At the centre of the plate towards the attachment end is a central circular rivet hole containing a seperately cast copper-alloy rivet with dome shaped head on front face and separately cast circular copper-alloy rove on the back face. The entire object has worn and encrusted surfaces, but there are possible traces of gilding on the front face beneath the rivet. It measures 26.52mm in length, 13.18mm in maximum width, 0.92mm in thickness, and weighs 1.88g.This is a copper-alloy hooked tag of uncertain date. Its form is reminiscent of examples of Early-Medieval date, although the rivet and rove are perhaps more similar to Medieval or Post-Medieval strap/belt fittings. This object may therefore date as early as the Early-Medieval period, but may equally be as late as the Post-Medieval period of the 16th-17th centuries AD.
