Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy hooked tag.A rectangular hanger surmounts an openwork plate with a symmetrical design. The central element of this design is a cross-hatched projection emanating from a 'V-shaped' moulding. A short vertical arm extends from the top of the cross-hatched area, branching left and right at the top, extending into the hanger. Flanking the central area of the plate are two sets of four openwork loops, some of which have filled during casting. A pair of downward-angling, pointed projections protrudes from the sides of the 'V-shaped moulding, with a moulded collar at its basal point. A D-sectioned rearward hook projects from beneath this collar, the point missing.Length: 29.4mm; width: 16.7mm; thickness: 2.1mm; weight: 2.6g.A published parallel for this hooked tag is one found in a late 16th century context in Southwark (Egan 2005: 44/fig. 25, no. 153).
