Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat back with circular openwork plate and integrally cast rectangular suspension loop at the top of the plate, missing the integral hook due to old breaks. The openwork decoration comprises an elaborate equal armed cross with a pellet at its centre contained within a circular border. The exterior edges of the plate have beaded decoration. The suspension loop at the top is trapezoidal in section and rectangular in form. It measures 20.49mm in length, 14.96mm in width, 1.55mm in thickness, and weighs 1.33g.This hooked tag belongs to Read's Class E Type 3 Post-Medieval hooked tags and draws a very close parallel to his no. 370 (Read, 2008: 99, no. 370). This indicates a date in the 16th-17th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
