Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date belonging in Read's Class E Type 4 hooked tags. It has a lozenge shaped plate with openwork decoration at its centre and an integral trapezoidal sewing loop at the apex. The decoration comprises a beaded outer edge with lozenge shaped inner border, at the centre of which is a fleur-de-lis motif pointing towards the hook end of the plate. At the base of the plate is the integral hook, which is D-shaped in section and curves backwards to a sharp point. The entire object measures 32.73mm in length, 21.27mm in width, 2.14mm in thickness, and 3.26g in weight.This is a copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It is near identical to an example published by Read and placed in his Post-Medieval Class E Type 4 hooked tags (Read, 2008: p. 103, no. 424). This suggests a date range in the 16th-17th centuries AD for the current example.
