Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy cast hooked tag (1500-1550). This example is a Read's Class E Type 3 single sharp-hooked clasp with an integral attachment-loop in the same plane as the circular plate. The attachment-loop is angular with a sub-rectangular aperture; the loop is worn and one corner is broken and missing. The hook is re-curving with an angular shank. The circular plate is domed with a concave reverse. It is decorated with a moulded-relief floral pattern, very similar to a rose.A very similar example is illustrated in Read (2008:95 no 346), who notes that Class E clasps recovered by Thames Mudlarks are from secure c.1500-1550 deposits.Dimensions: length: 32.10mm; width: 14.93mm; thickness: 2.35mm; weight: 1.51g.
