Description: | An incomplete Early Post-Medieval (1500-1600) copper alloy gilt Hooked tag of Read's Class D, Type 6 (Trefoil). The mount has a central separate decorative appliqué on the front surface. The plate of the hooked tag has a trefoil of hollow domed bosses, each decorated with a cluster of three twisted-wire filigree annulets around a central pellet. To the reverse the slightly squashed rectangular wire loop and the stub of a lower hook.Cf. similar examples in Read, 2008, pp.78-81, nos.261-70, which the author suggests are of 16th century date (2008, p.59).
