Description: | A cast copper alloy hooked tag or hooked mount, dating to the late Early-medieval period and of Anglo-Scandinavian design. The hooked tag has a trefoil head plate with debased ringerike style decoration. A raised zoonmorphic terminal projects from beneath the head, terminating in a hook that curves back towards the reverse of the object, which is plain and undecorated. There are two iron rivets arranged longitudinally down the head plate. Similar objects have been recorded on this database and are descirbed as possible horse harness fittings or sword belt hangers and mounts. Generally 10th - 11th century AD.
