Description: | A copper alloy hooked tag, dating to c. 15th - 17th century. The hooked tag is roughly rectangular in shape, with a hook extending down from the rectangular plate. The longer two sides of the rectangular plate each have four decorative spherical knops extending outwards from the edge of the plate. At the top of the rectangular plate (integral to the plate) is a rectangular loop. A second decorative rectangular plate of copper alloy sits on top of the main rectangular plate. This plate has been engraved with three concentric rectangles. The engraved lines and the area round the base of the decorative plate have been coated in some sort of white paste, which is now a mid greyish-white colour. The hook extends down from the main body of the hooked tag. There is a ribbed collar round the hook itself. The hook then tapers to a slender point. The reverse is undecorated. The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina. Similar hooked tags can be seen in Bailey, 1999, pp29-33.
