HOOKED TAG

Unique ID: YORYM-3EB520

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

An incomplete early Medieval copper-alloy hooked tag, dating to the period c.AD 650-1100. The hooked tag is broadly traingular in plan, with a worn break across its upper terminal, resulting in some loss of the upper section. It narrows to the hook which has been straightened out, and termiates in a worn point. Any decoration on the front is now indiscernable. The reverse is undecorated. A light green patina is on the surface.

The hooked atg measures 21.31mm in length, 9.72mm in width at its widest, 1.53mm at its narrowest, 1.02mm in thickness and weighs 0.77g.

Cf. Read (2008), p. 7-13. This is Read's Class A, Type 1
