Description: | An incomplete unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a hooked tag of medieval or post-medieval date. The tag is very thin, has a sub-oval body with a long narrowing spike projecting from one end. The spike terminates in a sharp point but may have originally terminated in a hook. At the opposite end of the main body is the broken stub of another projection, possibly another spike but more likely a small loop of such to mount and secure the tag. No direct comparison could be found in the usual literature. Another possibility is that it is a fragment from a rifle, however this is also conjecture.
