Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval hooked tag of Read's Class E Type 3. It is missing the hook due to old breaks. The plate is circular in form with a domed front and concave back face. At the top of the plate is an integrally cast sewing lug that is trapezoidal in form and section. The front face of the plate has moulded decoration comprising a central male head with long hair and beard, surrounded by a double beaded border. The head faces towards the incomplete hook, which appears to have been triangular in section with beaded(?) collar. It measures 22.97mm in length, 14.90mm in width, 3.98mm in thickness, and weighs 2.53g. This hooked tag belongs to Read's (2008) Class E Type 3 hooked tags with closest parallels noted in his nos. 325-327. This suggests a date in the 16th-17th centuries AD for the current example.
