Description: | An incomplete silver artefact, made from a thin sheet of silver and taking the form of a flower head. The central boss, hollow on the underside, is surrounded by three of an original four petals, each of which terminates in a point. Part of a circular-sectioned silver rivet projects from the underside of the boss.Width: 24.3mm; Length: 16.2mm; Height/thickness: 4.9mm; Weight: 1.66g.No exact parallel could be found for this piece; however, its form suggests it is part of an early post-Medieval dress fitting, perhaps a mount or a hooked tag. Similar hooked tags include treasure case 2008 T726, from Saxton, North Yorkshire, and the front plate of 2007 T713, found at Kelsale Cum Carlton, Suffolk.
