Description: | Early post medieval incomplete copper alloy hooked tag, bent and missing part of one of its openwork trefoils (recent break), and the hook that would have extended from it. It is openwork and cast to resemble a looped rope, and in shape an inverted trefoil with a trapezoidal loop extending from the two complete trefoil-loops. The trapezoidal loop has four mouldings at each 'corner'. The reverse of the hooked tag is flat while the decorated side slightly rounded.The tag dates to the 16th century and is identical in style to an example from Suffolk, SF-EF2FD0, three from West Yorkshire, SWYOR-D9E3A6, -D99D73, -C1AA51, and one from Lincolnshire, LIN-C74436.It measures 14.6mm (incomplete length) and is 18.9mm wide. The internal dimensions of the loop are 9.9mm (max) and 7.2mm (min) x 6mm.
