Description: | A cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval hooked tag of Read Class E Type 3. It comprises a circular plate with concave back face and moulded decoration on the dome-shaped front face. This consists of a left facing classical style bust within a cabled border. At the top of the plate is an integrally cast trapezoidal loop and from the base extends an integral hook that has a transverse collar, is rectangular in form, triangular in section and tapers to backwards facing sharp tip. The entire object measures 45.81mm in length, 16.13mm in width, 2.72mm in thickness and weighs 3.50g.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: no. 335). This indicates an early Post-Medieval date for the current example, probably in the 16th-17th centuries AD.
