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 main rectangular plate of the hooked tag has a shield shaped openwork design cut into it. The longer two sides of the rectangular plate each have five decorative spherical knops extending outwards from the edge of the plate. At the top of the rectangular plate (integral to the plate) is an openwork 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 then tapers to a slender point, the tip of the hook at been broken off, the break looks very worn. The reverse is undecorated. The metal has a mid reddish-green patina. Similar hooked tags can be seen in Bailey, 1999, pp29-33.
