Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy hooked tag (c.1630 ?? c.1650). The hooked tag has been cast in one piece to resemble decoratively coiled wire or rope. There is a straight bar on one edge for attachment that leads into the openwork decoration of two pellets then a trilobed pattern before terminating in a central curved hook. The hook has been twisted and now lies flat where originally it may have curled towards the rear of the plate. The tri-lobes have moulded transverse diagonal lines representing the detail of coiled wire or rope. Pale ?? mid green patina.
The hooked tag is similar to an example found in London and dated 1630-1650, however that example has a floral motif at the centre of the tri-lobes (Egan 2005:44 no. 154).
Dimensions: length: 33.33mm; width: 19.83mm; thickness: 2.78mm; weight: 2.64g.
