Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It is the hook section of the tag, missing most of the hook due to old breaks. The plate is lozenge shaped in form with a single semi-circular sewing hole at the top and a further two sewing holes at the base flanking the hook. The hook itself is integrally cast, flat and rectangular in form, terminating in old breaks just as it begins to curve forwards to form the hook shape. The front face of the plate has moulded floral decoration comprising a central four-petalled flower with additional floral/foliate motifs between each petal and along the sides of the plate. The back face is flat and undecorated. It measures 42.08mm in length, 23.96mm in width, 1.87mm in thickness, and weighs 5.99g.This is an incomplete hook piece from a hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It finds near identical parallels in Read's Early Post-Medieval Class A Type 10 hooked tags (Read, 2008: nos. 681-682) and is of 16th to 17th century AD date.
