Description: | An incomplete and corroded cast copper alloy hooked tag of Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1400 - c. AD 1600). Length 24.4mm, width 13.2mm and 2.0mm thick. Weight 1.22g.The hooked tag is cast-in-one and would have consisted of three elements, an attachment loop, a plate and a hook. The complete plate is sub-circular in plan and is convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the front it is decorated with a rose motif although this is barely discernable due to corrosion. The rear face is plain. At the top of the plate are two upward projecting stubs, the remains of an attachment loop that was probably sub-rectangular in plan. The shaft of the hook projects downwards from the lower part of the plate but the curving part, which would have formed a rearward projecting hook, is missing due to an old break.This hooked tag is corroded and in poor condition and all three breaks are old. At the rear of the plate a patchy dark green patina has survived.
