Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Read's Post-Medieval Class E Type 4 hooked tags. It is missing half of the integral sewing loop due to old breaks. The plate is lozenge shaped in form, from the top of which extends the incomplete sewing loop that is rectangular in section. On the front face of the plate is moulded decoration comprising a central recessed cross pommee, two circular indentations above and three pellets to either side. At the base of the plate is a transverse collar below which extends the integral hook. This is D-shaped in section and curves backwards to a tapering sharp point. The entire object measures 28.25mm in length, 14.95mm in width, 2.28mm in thickness and 1.85g in weight.This is a Post-Medieval hooked tag. It finds an identical parallel in an example published by Read (2008: no. 420) and belongs in his Post-Medieval Class E Type 4 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 |
