Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval hooked tag of Read's Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 2. It has a shield shaped openwork plate that is rectangular in section and with a rectangular suspension/sewing loop at the top. At the centre of the plate is a transverse cabled band above which extend two fleur de lis and beneath which is openwork foliate decoration. At the base of the plate extends an integrally cast hook that is separated from the plate by a transverse double band positioned at the base of the foliate decoration. The hook is triangular in section with flat back and pointed front face, and curves backwards to a now incomplete point. The entire object measures 30.65mm in length, 15.18mm in width, 2.40mm in thickness, and weighs 2.37g.This is a Post-Medieval hooked tag that is identical to an example published by Read (2008: no. 305). Read places this parallel in his Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 2 hooked tags that are shield shaped in form and date to the 16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
