HOOKED TAG

Unique ID: SF-EA44E7

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag, only the plate survives and there is a rectangular loop above the plate. The plate is oval in shape measuring 18mm in length and 16mm in width. The front of the plate is decorated with a projecting bust of possibly a cherub or a child, which indicates that the orientation of this hooked tag would have been with the loop uppermost, surrounding the bust there are oval shaped indentaions. The back face is flat and concave where the projecting bust occurs on the front face. The hook is missing due to an old break. This hooked tag is early post-medieval in date.
