An incomplete lead hooked tag of Early Medieval date. It consists of a circular boss with two pierced attachment loops, the hook is missing, with iron corrosion present around a circular hole in the disc. Decoration comprises a prominent boss in the centre of three sets of double-line in counter-relief. Hooked tags manufactured from lead are very uncommon, and it is possible it is a mould rather than a finished tag. Similar examples can be found on PAS (see NMS-412B7B).

Copper alloy possible hooked tag. Small cast tapered D-section shank, broken at its narrower end near the site of a curve, and expanded to triangular form at the other end. This now appears to resemble a crowned King’s head with brow and nose, as kindly observed by the finder, though a spiky crown may in part be formed by two juxtaposed drilled attachment holes across which the object appears to have broken. This may suggest the decoration to have been of originally zoomorphic rather than anthropomorphic style, and perhaps unrelated to the late medieval King’s head motif. S…
