Hooked Tags "Triangular" - Pair

Early medieval hooked tags for winingas.

Here you can buy a pair of triangular hooked tags for winingas, which are based on an Anglo-Saxon find from early medieval England.

The historical model for these Anglo-Saxon hooked tags dates back to the 9th century AD and was once made of silver and decorated with engraved floral designs, as was common for winingas hooks of that period.

It was found in Burmarsh, Kent, England, and is now in the possession of the British Museum in London. Link to the original hooked tag...

The two small eyelets allow the hooked tags to be sewn onto the top of the winingas with a few stitches, and the long, pointed ends ensure that they stay securely in place.

You can buy the hooked tags in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (Please note the delivery time).

The dimensions are: 3.3 x 2.1 cm. Supplied as a pair. 

In addition to round shapes, triangular hooked tags were also very common in Anglo-Saxon regions in the early Middle Ages and were often decorated in the so-called Trewhiddle style.

In the early Middle Ages, so-called winingas or gaiters made of wool and linen were worn by both men and women among the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and other Germanic peoples, and bronze and silver calf wrap hooks have therefore also been found in archaeological finds.

They were intended to protect the wearer from cold and wet weather and the trouser legs from damage caused by thorns and branches. The calf wrap hooks were attached to the end of the winingas at the knee area and ensured a secure hold on the trouser leg.
