Description: | A lead alloy hooked tag dating from the post medieval period. It is 24.1mm long, 22.6mm wide and 8.9mm thick. It weighs 9.74gm. The dress hook is trefoil shaped in plan. Each lobe is a projecting dome, with a smaller knop in the centre. There is a thin flat flange round the edge, with a small pointed project in the angles between the lobes. Though very worn, there are faint traces of decoration on the bosses. It would probably have imitated the filigree work on silver examples of these tags. The rectangular attachment loop on the reverse is bent, and most of the lead alloy integral pin is missing. Compare NLM-25AF91 and DENO-205E05. The tag probably dates from the 16th century.
