Description: | Incomplete copper alloy hooked tag dating to the Post Medieval period. The tag is 'shield shaped', with a flat top and rounded lower edge. It features openwork design including a rectangular box at the top of the tag which forms the attachment loop and two rows of three circles. The top row is larger than the bottom and the bottom row is arranged with the central hole raised slightly above the outer two. A curving hook should project from the bottom of the lower curving edge but is now lost to an old break. It measures 17.8mm in length, 14.3mm in width, 1.8mm in thickness and weighs 1.22g.Read (2008, pg. 89-90) illustrates similar examples, e.g. nos. 305-310, which he dates to the early Post Medieval period. Classified as Class E, Type 2. BERK-4FF1F5, on this database, is a similar example with lis openwork rather than circular motifs.
