Description: | An almost complete cast cooper alloy hooked tag of post-medieval date. The hooked tag is of Reads Class E, Type 5 being trefoil in plan. The main plate is an openwork trefoil design with a D-shaped section and an integrally cast rectangular attachment loop. Two small sub-circular details, possibly representing roses, mark the join between the attachment loop and main plate. From the opposite end the hook does not remain in-tact terminating in a worn break. The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. The metal is a dark blackish-brown colour and is survives in good condition. The hooked tag measures 30mm in length, 19mm in width and weighs 1.7g. A similar example is illustrated in Read, pg. 110, fig. 438.
