At the upper apex there is a perforated integral knop and the lower edge has an incomplete blunt hook. Either side of the hook at the junction with the body there is a perforated integral knop totalling three. The reverse is undecorated. The surface of the tag is an abraded green/grey colour. It measures 45.83mm long, 21.93mm wide and weighs 5.7g.The tag belongs to Read's 'Blunt hook and eye clasps', Class A Type 8 (Read, B. 2008 Hooked-Clasps and Eyes Portcullis Publishing) and these are dated to the mid 16th to 17th centuries. Suggested uses are not so much capes, but perhaps on satchels, saddle-bags or straps (ibid; 164).
