Description: | A complete cast copper alloy hooked tag, dating from the Post-Medieval period. The hook is cast in one with the plate and projects from the base. It bends backwards at the end and tapers to a sharp point. The loop is positioned at the top of the plate and is rectangular in shape. The plate is rectangular with a convex base. The upper section of the plate is decorated with 7 circular depressions: 5 near the loop are arranged in a zig-zag pattern so that three holes are above two; another two depressions are located directly below this pattern and sit at the head of the hook. The hook is flanked by slanting ridges at each side. The convex edge of the plate is beaded. Similar hooked tags date to the 16th Century, and can be seen in Gordon Baileys' Buttons and Fasteners pp. 96 Figure 12.21.A very similar example with the same design is SWYOR-ABD126.
