Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag of probable 16th to 17th century AD date.The central plate has a heart-shaped openwork central section with an internal projection at the top, possibly in the form of a flower head. A small projection also extends upwards from the plate into the sub-rectangular loop. The two outer sides of the plate have moulded decoration, each side having a central loop (possibly a sewing hole) between two wedge-shaped ornaments. A moulded collar marks the junction between the plate and the backwards-facing hook, this latter element being of semi-circular section and tapering to a sharp point.The object measures 31.3mm long, 18.4mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The weight is 2.36g.
