Description: | An extremely worn cast copper-alloy hooked tag dating to the Early Medieval period, c. 8th to 11th centuries AD. The remains of the hooked tag consist of a sub-triangular plate with rounded edges, with three circular holes positioned with two evenly spaced at the top and a third near the apex of the triangle below. The apex terminates in a small tapering sharp hook. The area around each hole bears a trace of further decoration, possibly ring-and-dot design which is typical to these types of objects; however, due to severe surface abrasion, this is uncertain. The object measures approximately 15.5 mm long, 8.9 mm maximum width, 0.9 mm thick and weighs 0.22 grams. No trace of further decoration remains.
