Title
Silver lace tag
Description
English: CURATOR'S REPORT

A 15th - 16th century lace tag.

Circumstance of Discovery

Found while searching with a metal detector, in Description Incomplete silver lace tag or chape. The terminal, probably made from filed and tooled thick wire, is in the form of a stylised, elongated and collared acorn above a slightly swollen shaft engraved with cross-hatching. The tubular socketed part, into the top of which the terminal is inserted, is missing its base. It is of sheet bent into a tube with straight butt seam, and is decorated at the top with two encircling engraved lines flanking a ring of longitudinal dashes.

The age and precious metal content of this item therefore qualify it as treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
