Title
An Early Medieval Hooked Tag.
Description
English: Hooked tag made of cast copper alloy. The body of the tag is flat and sub-triangular. The upper edge is straight, and in each of the two upper corners there is a circular hole. The right-hand hole has the remains of a copper-alloy rivet, which is highly unusual for a hooked tag; normally the holes are empty, so they are thought to be sewing holes rather than rivet holes. The upper surface of the tag is decorated with four circular cells laid out in a lozenge pattern, around which is a faint ring border. The reverse of the body is undecorated and flat. Protruding from the edge of the apex of the body is a short, sharp hook which bends towards the reverse. The surface of the hooked tag is corroded and the patina is not visible. It measures 13.1mm in length by 12mm in maximum width.

Leslie Webster in the 'Making of England' dates a tag with similar decoration (no. 67c) to the 9th century.
