Description: | Fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy dress or strap fitting, possibly a hooked tag (1500-1700 AD). The trapezoidal fragment represents probably around 40% of the original artefact. The tag or fitting might originally have been hand-shaped, and probably would have contained an openwork flower with six petals, two of which now remain. The fitting has moulded decoration on the obverse and a flat back which is undecorated. The shortest of the outside edges has a scar at each corner, where what was probably a rectangular attachment loop has broken off. The fragment is very worn and has a rich green patina with pale concretion on the reverse. It measures 20.3mm long and 2.25mm thick. It weighs 2.04 grams.
