Description: | An Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) cast copper alloy hooked tag with pendent loop, measuring 34.52x12.81x8.41mm and weighing 3.14g.The body of the tag is broadly trapezoidal with the hook protruding from the smallest edge of the body. The hook (which is D-shaped in section) curls back on itself to hold the pendent loop, which measures 11.36x10.22mm (with a projection presumably a casting flash to one side) and internally 6.24mm in diameter. The body of the tag is decorated with a transverse groove just above the hook-end, to the front only. The wider end is in-curved with a V-shaped groove. Arranged vertically are two rivets holes (counter-sunk to the reverse), the lower of which contains an in situ iron rivet.All original patina has been lost and reverse is slightly hollowed. It is likely this object functioned as part of a sword belt assemblage.
