Description: | A worn, corroded and incomplete hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. Most of the hook piece survives intact, the corresponding catch piece now missing due to old breaks. It has a flat pointed-oval shaped plate with single projecting oval shaped sewing lugs positioned at the centre of both sides, a similar lug now missing from the end of the plate due to old breaks. At the attachment end is an incomplete but integrally cast flat, rectangular hook that terminates in old breaks just below the plate, its precise form uncertain. The front face of the plate has traces of incised decoration comprising a central floral or foliate motif with flaring branches or petals within a border of punched annulets. It measures 35.59mm in length, 27.85mm in width, 2.64mm in thickness and 7.34g in weight. This is an incomplete hooked tag similar to examples published by Read (2008: nos. 639-644). It falls in his Early Medieval Class A Type 2 hooked tags and is of 16th-17th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
