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.Reference: Egan, G. 2005. Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition. MoLAS Monograph 19: London.
