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. At the top of the plate is an integrally cast sewing loop that is trapezoidal in form and triangular in section. The decoration on the front face comprises a human face of Classical style facing right within a beaded border. At the base of the plate is a moulded double-pellet collar beneath which extends the rear-facing hook. This is triangular in section and tapers towards a rear-facing point, missing its tip due to old breaks. The entire object measures 33.57mm in length, 14.11mm in width, 3.78mm in thickness and weighs 2.86g.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.
