Description: | Single piece hooked tag. Single sheet triangular shaped, with the point having been bent back to form the hook. In the two corners furthest from the hook are single rivet/attachment holes 1.47 in diameter. The shortest edge has a central V-shaped notch. No surface decoration is visible. Examples can be seen in Bailey, G. 2005 (p.33, fig.44) which is dated as 17th century, and Cuddleford, M. 1994 (p.21 item 16). Hooked tags are normally identified as as clothing fasteners although Cuddleford describes his item 16 as a book clasp.
