Description: | A copper alloy hooked tag, dating to circa 16th - 17th century. The hooked tag is roughly rectangular in shape, with a hook extending down from the rectangular plate. The main rectangular plate of the hooked tag has a shield shaped openwork design cut into it. The longer two sides have been cut forming four lobes. At the top of the rectangular plate (integral to the plate) is a decorative feature, which resembles a crown. The hook extends down from the main body of the hooked tag. There is a ribbed collar around the hook itself. The hook has been broken off and the attachment loop at the other end is also missing. The breaks all look very worn. The reverse is undecorated. The metal has a mid reddish-green patina.
