Description: | A copper alloy early Post-Medieval (late 16th Century) hooked tag. The plate is shield-shaped (oval with one straight side)with a central floral motif in openwork. There is a central flower, similar to the Tudor rose, with three half flowers surrounding it and bordering the edge of the plate. In between these half-flowers the outer edge is moulded to look like twisted rope or ?vines. The dress tag has been cast in one piece and the loop is integral to the plate with the straight edge forming the edge of the loop. The hook has a trapezoidal section and is broken where it curves to form the hook (length of remaining hook: 17.83mm). There are two rounded projections at the junction between the hook and the plate. Dark green patina. Length: 34.69mm; width: 15.06mm; thickness: 2.10mm; weight: 2.88g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1550
