Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A silver hooked tag. The plate is oval in shape with two circular holes set next to each other near to the upper edge. The plate's edge is and damaged on one side. The hook projects from the centre of the lower edge and curves backward abruptly to terminate in a point. Both faces of this hooked tag are undecorated.
