Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date belonging to Read's Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 6 hooked tags. It has an openwork plate that has a central lozenge and figure of eight motifs to either side giving it a quatrefoil form. Small projecting knops are visible at the four corners of the lozenge. At the top of the plate is an integral rectangular suspenion loop with rectangular aperture, and at the base is an integrally cast hook. This is triangular in section, curves sharply backwards and tapers towards a point. The entire object measures 24.83mm in length, 10.17mm in width, 2.08mm in thickness, and weighs 1.64g.This hooked tag falls into Read's Early Post-Medieval Class E type 6 quatrefoil hooked tags and finds parallels in two examples published by him (Read, 2008: nos. 446-447). These indicate a date range in the 16th-17th centuries AD for the current example.
