Description: | Incomplete medieval to post-medieval tin-coated copper alloy hooked tag, most of an embedded iron hook missing. The circular plate is engraved with a circle containing the sacred monogram IHS (Iesus Hominum Salvator / Jesus saviour of mankind). Cf. an example in lead/tin alloy from Bedfordshire (ibid., no. 515). Extant length 20mm. Width 14.7mm. Other almost identical examples have been recorded at Fransham, Norfolk (HER 20542, NMS-0F2CC7), Tasburgh, Norfolk (NMS-C5C266) and on five Suffolk sites (SF-2CB7B7, SF-36EA35, SF-03A4F1, SF-1F13D2, SF-BB4BD5), and in Leicestershire (LEIC-119E41). Read (2008, 125) dated his Class K Type 2 to c.1450 - c. 1500 but perhaps the date range should be extended up to the middle of the 16th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
