Description: | 16th to 17th century copper-alloy single piece hooked fastener (hooked tag). It has a circular area of decoration, between the hook and the attachment loop, with perforated holes surrounding a cross with an external beaded border. The attachment loop is trapezoidal with a single bead in the centre of each of the shorter sides of the loop. Above these single beads, in the two corners of the longest side of the loop, only just visible, are vertical linear grooves that fan out and resemble a tassle. Good examples of the attachment loop can be seen in Bailey, G. 2004, p.96, figs. 12.20 & 12.22. An example of the circular decorated plate is in Bailey, G. 2004, p.95, figs. 12.10.
