Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of probable early post-medieval date. Bailey suggests that this type of hooked tag dates from the 16th century (2004; pp. 98), although the evidence for this dating is unclear and the recorder knows of no examples from securely-dated archaeological contexts.The object has a sub-oval openwork plate of floral design. A recessed circular panel with a small hole at the centre is surrounded by seven petals (six of which are openwork) interspersed with projecting mouldings. The hanger is trapezoidal, the width tapering slightly from top to bottom. The hook is missing.The piece measures 27mm high, 18.6mm wide and 1.1mm thick; it weighs 2.2g.
