Description: | TREASURE CASE 2012 T184.Tiny silver hooked tag with a circular undecorated plate c. 10mm in diameter. There are two small circular attachment holes close to each other near the top; these have raised edges around them on the reverse, suggesting that they were bored or drilled through from the front. The hook at the bottom is thicker, with a distinct step on the front but a smooth junction on the reverse. It bends backwards but the tip is missing.16.0mm long, 10.25mm wide, plate 0.5mm thick. Weight: 0.4g.Early-medieval hooked tags range in date the 7th to the 11th centuries, but those with circular plates do not occur in the earliest contexts, 7th-century graves (Geake 1997, 66). An 8th- to 11th-century date is therefore likely.
