Title
16th century hooked tag
Description
English: Post medieval silver gilt hooked tag comprising a triangular shaped sheet backplate and separate hook soldered onto the reverse. It measures 24.2x17.3mm and weighs 2.99g. The hook is slightly squashed. The backplate has rounded corners with scalloped edges, created by little transverse cuts around the outside edge. At the middle point of each edge the sheet has been cut so a tiny triangle projects here. Behind this sits a globular boss c.2mm in diameter. Three rope-twisted wire circles decorate the front surface of the plate. Just inside this is a plain wire circle. These circles are of equal size and the globular bosses fall just outside them. Another globular boss is at the very centre of the plate. Within each rope-twised circle are another two much smaller rope-twisted circles all closest to the innermost point and the central boss. One of each of these has the remains of a tiny boss. It is possible, in the space left next to the two circles, there was a third, of globular boss shape, and these have all now been lost. Gilding is apparent on the revese of the plate around the scalloped edging. Two rough patches at either end of the edge opposite the projecting hook would have been where the attachment bar was attached, probably with solder. The hook is circular in section and 2mm in diameter. 16th century. Cf. A similar silver-gilt hooked tag from Parham, Suffolk, decorated with three large bosses. 2002 T125.
