Description: | A cast, copper alloy hooked tag of the early post-medieval period, dating from AD1500-1650. It has a trapezoidal upper loop, the sides of which are small roses. Each of these roses is a terminal for an interlaced openwork design of three loops; one vertical and two, smaller, horizontal loops. The hook, which is intact, depends from the lower part of the larger, vertical loop and is D shaped in section, the whole of the underside of the tag being flat and undecorated. similar examples are illustrated in Read, Hooked-Clasps & Eyes 2008 p 110, nos 436-438. See also an example, attributed to the first half of the 17th century, illustrated in Egan, Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition, p 44, no 154.
