Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked tag of post-medieval date. The object is of Read's Class E, type 3. The main plate is decorated with a moulded openwork design, with 4 circular perforations to either side of a central chequered lozenge - possibly representing a pinecone. The rectangular attachment loop & hook are both missing. The reverse of the hooked tag is flat and undecorated. The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. A similar example is illustrated in Read, p.104, no.402 and is dated to circa AD 1500 - 1700. See also YORYM-030353 for a more complete example.
