Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked tag dating to the post-medieval period. The mount has a flat sub-oval body with a small oval knop at the apex. Around the perimeter of the body are four side-loops. The body is decorated with a hollow-dome bearing a human facing-mask and foliage around it. An incomplete blunt-hook extends from the top.The presence of four attachment-knops or loops assigns this to Reads 'Early post-medieval Class A, Type 3, though the decoration is most closly matched to an example in his Class A, Type 2, illustrated on p.171, no. 645 (Brian Read, Hooked-Clasps and Eyes (Somerset: Portcullus Publications, 2008).
