Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy hooked tag of late Medieval to Post-Medieval date belonging in Read's Class K Type 2. It is missing the integrally cast suspension loop and iron hook due to old breaks, now worn.The plate is flat and circular in form. The front face is decorated with an incised circular border that contains the engraved letters 'IHS' in lombardic script. There is iron corrosion towards the bottom of the plate. The back face is undecorated with a moulded rectangular ridge at the bottom created to accommodate the now missing hook.This hooked tag measures 17.23mm in length, 15.44mm in width, 1.39mm in thickness, 1.99g in weight.This hooked tag is identical to an example published by Read from Bedfordshire (Read, 2008, pp.126 no. 515). There are also examples recorded on the PAS database from Suffolk (SF-03A4F1) (SF-36EA35) (SF-2CB7B7).
