Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag of probable 16th to 17th century AD date.The central plate is circular in plan and the upper surface has moulded decoration depicting a flower head (probably a rose). A raised central pellet is surrounded by seven inner petals, which, in turn, are surrounded by seven outer petals. The hanger extends upwards from the top edge of the plate and has rounded edges. The hook is of semi-cicrular section, tapers to a point and is bent upwards, possibly as a result of post-depositional processes, but more likely, through a deliberate action. The reverse of the piece is plain.The object measures 22.2mm long, 12.8mm wide and 1.9mm thick. The weight is 2.39g.
