Description: | Incomplete post medieval copper alloy hooked tag, missing part of the hook.
It is a parallelogram in shape with the two sides sloping outwards to give a wider edge where the 'hook' extends (11mm wide from 7.2mm at the opposite end).
The 'hook' consists of a stub of metal 3mm long, 3mm wide and 1.1mm thick. It has a fairly recent break.
The object is D-shaped in section with a rough underside and smooth dark green patina on the opposite face. It measures 16.4x11.7mm and weighs 1.11g.
On the underside are the remains of two rivets, separately soldered on. Both are broken at or near the base of the shank.
