Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date belonging in Read's Class K Type 2. It is missing the separately cast iron hook due to old breaks. The plate is flat, circular in form and has an integrally cast rectangular suspension with rectangular aperture loop at the top. On the back face at the base of the plate is a moulded rectangular ridge from which the now missing hook would have extended. The front face of the plate is decorated with an incised circular border that contains within it engraved letters reading 'IHS' in lombardic script. It measures 21.07mm in height, 15.12mm in width, 1.52mm in thickness, and weighs 2.61g.This is an incomplete late Medieval to Post-Medieval hooked tag that is identical to an example published by Read from Bedfordshire (Read, 2008: no. 515; see also SF-03A4F1, SF-36EA35). He places this in his Class K Type 2 Post-Medieval hooked tags, dating the group to the late-15th century AD, c.1450-1500 AD.
