Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked tag of post-medieval date. The tag has a circular main plate moulded on the front surface. The design features a central raised pellet, surrounded by six other pellets. These main pellets are each further decorated with a rope work surround. There are pellets also around the edge. The main plate has a raised border. The reverse of the main plate is hollow. Extending upwards from the main plate is the trapezoidal loop, now broken and missing its head. Below the main plate the hook extends, it is bent and has lost the tip. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and is slightly worn. For parallels see: Read, p96, No. 350.
