Description: | A worn copper alloy hooked tag dating to the post medieval period. The tag comprises an openwork body which is cast to resemble looped rope; the formation is that of an inverted trefoil. Above the trefoil, the body extends into a trapezoidal attachment plate through which a strap or ribbon would have been fixed. The tag has a complete tapering hook at the bottom that bends back slightly at the tip. The tag is complete but the hook has snapped away from the plate. It measures 31.8mm in length, 18.08mm in width and 5.7mm in thickness (including the bent hook) and weighs 1.56g.
