Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat back, circular openwork plate and moulded relief and openwork decoration, and is complete with the exception of the tip of the hook that is missing due to old breaks. The openwork plate consists of a central crosshatched object, probably a pinecone or pineapple, with three leaves extending to the top of the plate. Beneath the pineapple/pinecone is a V-shaped moulded area and on each side is a moulded, engrailed or foliate edge with four small circular perforations. At the top of the plate is an integral rectangular suspension loop that is trapezoidal in section and has a rectangular perforation. At the foot of the plate is the integral hook, which is D-shaped in section and bends backwards towards the now missing point. This hooked tag measures 34.49mm in length, 16.95mm in width, 2.30mm in thickness, and weighs 3.04g. This belongs in Read's Class E Type 3 circular/sub-circular hooked tag group and dates to the 16th or 17th century AD (Read, 2008: nos. 402-404).
