Description: | Copper alloy hooked tag of post-medieval date. Sub-lozenge shaped plate with moulded openwork decoration, generally D-shaped in section. The suspension loop at the top of the tag is broken off. In the centre of the plate there is a solid lozenge-shaped element with a plain raised border and a small raised solid circle in the centre. This plate is surrounded by moulded and scrolled openwork decoration now heavily worn (see image). Beneath this the hook tapers and is broken off where it begins to recurve. There is moulded decoration on the upper surface at the top of the hook, now heavily worn, and the hook is also D-shaped in section. The reverse is flat. Reddish-brown and mid-green patina.
