Object type: HOOKED TAG
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A sub-circular copper-alloy hooked tag of early-medieval date. The tag has been cut from a sheet, and tapers to a recurving hook. It has two protruding attachment knops, perforated; one of these has broken off in antiquity and the side of the panel abraded below. The upper surface on the panel is decorated with an incised radial design, presumably floral. There are two incised transverse lines below the panel as the hook begins. The object has a variable mid-green patina. Hooked tags such as this could date from the 9th to 12th centuries; it is arguably relatively late within this r…

A cast copper-alloy decorative hinge from either a box or possibly a book fitting dating to the post-medieval period. The object is flat and sub-rectangular in cross-section. One end terminates with a fleur-de-lis which is perforated for attachment; a corroded iron rivet survives in the hole. Below this is an inverted heart-shaped openwork within the base of which is a rounded moulding perforated with a second rivet corroded within it. The adjacent sides protrude slightly beyond the sides above. Beyond the second rivet hole there is a narrowed protrusion which would have fitted into t…
