Description: | A copper-alloy hooked tag of late medieval or early post-medieval date. The loop is made from a straight bar with two moulded pellets at the points where it adjoins the openwork plate. The plate takes the form of a three-looped openwork knot, the right hand one being incomplete, and the lower loop extended externally into the backward-facing hook. This hook has a rectangular moulding at the top, is of semi-circular section and tapers to a sharp point, located a short distance from the back of the plate. The object measures 30.9mm long, 16.4mm wide and 6.6mm deep. The weight is 2.11g.Similar hooked tags were found in excavations in Southwark, London. The contextual information suggested a date of late 15th to 16th century (Egan 2005: 43-44). Several examples of this particular style of hooked tag are illustrated by Read (2008: 110, nos. 436-440).
