Description: | An incomplete 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 is broken immediately below the collar. The loop, the top now broken off, is positioned at the top of the plate and would have been rectangular in shape. The plate is sub rectangular. The upper section of the plate is decorated with 9 circular holes: 7 near the loop are arranged in a zig-zag pattern so that two holes (one of which is filled with corrosion) are above three with another two below the three; another two apertures are located directly below this pattern and sit at the head of the hook. The hook is flanked by slanting ridges at each side. There is a slightly raised border around the edge of this design. The back of the hooked tag is flat and undecorated. The object has a medium-dark green patina. Similar hooked tags date to the 16th Century and can be found in Gordon Bailey's Buttons and Fasteners, page 96, figure 12.21. Similar examples may be found on the database at PAS record IDs: SWYOR-ABD126 and SWYOR-C4C7F0 and SWYOR-704811.Length: 26.1mm; Width: 15.5mm; Thickness: 7.6mm; Weight: 2.83g
