Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Post-Medieval hooked tag. The tag has a flat back and openwork circular plate that depicts at its centre a heart suspended between the edges of the outer frame. At the top of the frame are two horizontal knops above which is an integral rectangular suspension loop. At the base of the tag are two small raised bands above an integral hook that is semi-circular in section and bends backwards behind the plate.The tag measures 25.04mm in length, 14.52mm in width, and weighs 1.47g. Parallels of Post-Medieval date can be noted on the Protable Antiquities Database, notably NLM-6A4072 and SF-BE82A3, which have similar heart shaped motifs. This tag is of 16th-17th century AD date.
