Description: | An Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy single sharp-hooked tag of Read's Class E Type 3 (circular/sub-circular), rather worn and missing all of its original patina.The circular plate has a central pellet surrounded by a circular recess, flanked all the way round (except for the edge where the loop projects) by a ring of moulded pellets. Four of these are larger, two beneath the arms of the projecting loop and at the widest point of the object.The integral attachment loop is sub-rectangular in shape and measures 12.73mm wide (internal 7.41mm). It is very worn and thin. There is a two-dimensional (flat to the reverse) moulded boss at the juncture of plate and hook. The hook bends back on itself to the reverse of the object.The metal is a purplish-brown in colour with patches of a brighter green corrosion product. The object measures 27.54mm in length, 14.26mm in max.width, 8.64mm in depth and weighs 1.95g.
