Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It has a shield-shaped openwork plate with rectangular suspension loop at the top, and is missing the curved hook due to old breaks. The back face of the plate is flat, but the front face has extensive moulded and openwork decoration. This consists of a transverse row of four fleur-de-lis positioned on top of a transverse ridge that has incised diagonal decoration. Beneath the ridge the plate tapers towards the now missing hook and has a foliate decorative motif surrouded by five circular perforations, as well as moulded/pelleted exterior edges. The entire object measures 18.84mm in length, 15.12mm in width, 2.07mm in thickness, and weighs 1.85g. This hooked tag is identical to en example published by Read and falls into his Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 2 hooked tag group (Read, 2008: no. 305). This indicates a date in the 16th or 17th centuries AD for the current example.
