Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It is missing the upper edge of the attachment loop due to old breaks. The tag is circular in form with a concave back face and moulded, dome-shaped front face. At the top is the remains of an integrally cast copper-alloy rectangular attachment loop, which is flat and rectangular in cross-section. To both sides and the base are projecting circular sewing loops with central circular perforations, the one at the base has an additional projecting terminal knop. The front face has moulded decoration in the form of an Irish harp surrounded by a foliate and beaded border. The entire object measures 42.51mm in length, 35.01mm in width, 4.49mm in thickness, and weighs 11.03g. This is a hooked tag of Read's Class A Type 1 Post-Medieval tags, and draws close parallels with his numbers 621-623 (Read, 2008: 167, nos. 621-623). It is of Post-Medieval date belonging in the 16th-17th centuries AD.
