Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval hooked tag of Read Class E Type 3. It is missing the suspension/sewing loop due to old breaks. The tag comprises a circular plate with concave back face and moulded decoration on the dome-shaped front face. This consists of classical style human face facing right within a beaded border. At the top of the plate are the remains of the now missing loop, while at the base there is a moulded double-pellet collar beneath which extends the rear-facing hook. This is triangular in section and tapers to a sharp point. The entire object measures 32.50mm in length, 13.86mm in width, 3.60mm in thickness and weighs 2.29g.This is an incomplete Post-Medieval hooked tag with near identical parallels published by Read in his Class E Type 3 Post-Medieval hooked tags with circular plates (Read, 2008: nos. 325-326). This indicates an early Post-Medieval date for the current example, probably in the 16th-17th centuries AD.
