Description: | A complete copper-alloy dress fastener, also called a hooked tag or clothes clasp, dating to the early post-medieval period. The Hooked tag is of Read's (2008) Class E Type 3, having a circular central body in openwork, decorated with pellets around the outside and an equal-armed cross across the centre. The attachment 'loop' is rectangular and the complete hook curls towards the rear of the tag, which is flat and undecorated. These hooked tags have been found in contexts dating from c. AD 1500-1550. See Read (2008:99) no. 370 for an exact parallel.
