Description: | A Post-Medieval (1500-1800) copper alloy hooked tag of Read's Post-Medieval Class A Type 1. It measures 36.5x20.7x3.1mm and weighs 2.3g.The tag consists of a single piece of copper alloy wire bent and flattened at the centre to form a long hook, each running end bending in the same plane to form an open loop to either side. These loops would have been stitched to the fabric to secure the tag. The patina is dark brown with areas of corrosion.Cf. Read, 2008; Hooked-clasps & Eyes, pp.155-56.
