Description: | A complete copper alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It is flat, rectangular in form and with moulded decoration on the front face and a rear curving hook at the base. At the top of the plate is a rectangular suspension loop beneath which the plate has a transverse panel with a moulded semi-circular/concave front face. Below this panel the plate tapers and is triangular in form with openwork foliate decoration. A double transverse ribbed collar separates the plate from th rear facing hook, which is triangular in section and U-shaped in profile, tapering to a sharp point. The back face is flat and undecorated. The entire object measures 35.30mm in length, 15.88mm in width, 2.20mm in thickness at plate, and weighs 2.50g. This hooked tag is near identical to two examples published by Read, falling into his Class E Type 2 early Post-Medieval shield shaped hooked tags (Read, 2008: nos. 312-313). He dates this group to the 16th or 17th centuries AD.
