Title
Medieval - Post Medieval silver hooked tag
Description
English: A late Medieval - early Post Medieval silver hooked tag dating 15th - 16th century. This hooked tag is cast in the shape of an acorn with a broad hook projecting from the acorn cup and three loops for attachment projecting one from each side of the acorn cup and one from the acorn tip. The reverse is concave. The hook is broken across the curve and one of the attachment loops is also broken and missing.

Dimensions: length: 26.92mm; width: 14.44mm; thickness: 2.79mm; weight: 2.09g.

A similar dress hook is 2004T257 which has the same form of a broad hook and three attachment loops but that example has been cast in the form of a shell.

As the hooked tag is greater than 300 years old and is more than 10% silver it fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996.
