Description: | Post medieval copper alloy hooked-tag of 17th century dateThe hooked-tag is near-complete, missing the end of the hook and is distorted (with a distorted length of 27.7mm, a distorted depth of 11.8mm and a weight of 2.3g). The loop is rectangular (with a width of 12.8mm and internal dimensions of 8.9mm x 3.4mm) and is positioned at the terminal. The tag is sub-circular (15.4mm wide and 1.8mm thick) with a knurled edge and has open-work decoration comprising irregular holes arranged around a central cross. The distorted hook is of D-shaped section with straight parallel sides as far as the break. The surface has a brown-green patina with pale green corrosion.The hooked tag can be broadly paralleled with examples published by Margeson (1993, p 17, nos. 71-53)[1] from excavations at Norwich, recovered from 17th century contexts.
