It consists of the 'eye' section of a blunt hooked clasp and eye or dress hook. The 'eye' is complete, circular with a bevelled external edge. Six small circular attachment holes are present within the decorative plate. The reverse is flat and exhibits multiple file marks.It measures 32.95 mm in length, 14.68 mm wide and 2.82 mm thick. It weighs 3.8 g.The hooked tag is a light grey colour, with a polished surface.No direct parallels have been found for this hooked tag, but it is similar to that published as no. 695 (Read, 2008, p182). A similar but not identical hooked 'eye' has been recorded on the PAS database, including LVPL-BB8B02.
