Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked tag (hook piece) of Post-Medieval date. It has a slightly convex, oval shaped plate that is concave on the back face. At one end is an integrally cast hook that is flat, rectangular in form and curved forwards to form a neat hook. Where the hook and plate join there are projecting semi-circular lobes with circular sewing holes, the front face of the plate containing a band of foliate decoration running between the two. At the opposite end of the plate is a similar band of foliate decoration with a single central projecting terminal lobe that has a central circular sewing hole. The entire object measures 37.98mm in length, 23.05mm in width, 3.51mm in thickness, and weighs 7.22g.This is a Post-Medieval hooked tag belonging to Read's Early Post-Medieval Class A Type 2 hooked tags, with a close parallel noted from Devon (Read, 2008: pp. 172, no. 648). It is of 16th-17th century AD date.
