Description: | A copper alloy hooked tag dating from the late medieval or post medieval period. The tag is 31.1mm long, 13.8mm wide and 2.2mm thick. It consists of a circular loop which acts as both the attachment loop and the plate, and a tapering hook. There are three transverse ridges across the top of the hook. Traces of gilt survive on the loop. The hooked tag is unusually in having just a loop for the plate, but a similar example can be seen on the database recorded as ESS-816456 and there is also an example on page 32 of 'Detector Finds' by Gordon Bailey (1999). The tag has a mottled mid green and brown patina and is in good condition. It probably dates from 1400 - 1600AD.
