Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked tag, dating from the Post-Medieval period 1500 to 1600 AD. The hook is cast in one with the plate and projects from the base. The loop 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 7 depressions. The hook is flanked by a slanting ridge near the top. 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. The length is 30mm, and the width is 13mm.
