Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Read's Post-Medieval Class E Type 2 hooked tags. It is missing the integral hook due to old breaks. The plate is shield shaped in form with openwork decoration and a rectangular sewing loop that is trapezoidal in section. At the top of the plate are two fleur-de-lis motifs, beneath which is a transverse rib collar. Below the collar is the top of the hook section of the object, which has bifuricated foliate motifs before terminating in old breaks. The back face is flat and undecorated. The entire object measures 18.87mm in length, 14.73mm in width, 1.64mm in thickness and 1.58g in weight.This is a Post-Medieval hooked tag. It finds an identical parallel in an example published by Read (2008: no. 305) and belongs in his Post-Medieval Class E Type 2 hooked tag group, c.16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
