Description: | A complete post-medieval cast copper-alloy hooked tag (c. 16th century). The object has a central circular plate with a domed centre (the reverse is concave). A trapezoidal attachment loop projects from one side with the hook opposite. The hook and loop both had an angular D-shaped cross-section; the lower surface is flat. The central plate is decorated with the raised letters 'IHS' surrounded by a solid border, itself surrounded by a moulded pellet border. The copper alloy has a green-brown patina. Other identical hooked tags have been recorded on this database, including the following example from Berkshire - BERK-136377.
