Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. It is missing one end but appears to have been lozengiform in shape. It is decorated on the front with two small raised concentric circles from which project four points each connected to the tops of a heart each pointing to one of the four corners of the artefact. There is also a ridge running along the edge of the artefact. The reverse is flat, except for the intact end of the tag where there is a rectangular protrusion projecting at a forty-five degree angle away from the artefact. The artefact does not appear to be a hooked tag as the protrusion is straight as opposed to curved c.f. Read 'Hooked-Clasps & Eyes' p170 e.g. no.637.
