Description: | An early post-medieval copper alloy hooked tag of Read Class E Type 5 dating AD1500-1600. The hook itself is bent slightly to one side. The hooked tag is openwork and cast to resemble a looped rope in the shape of a trefoil with a trapezoidal loop extending from two of the trefoil-loops. The hook projects from the third, curling beneath itself and narrowing to a sharp point. The reverse of the hooked tag is flat while the front has moulded decoration in the form of diagonal ribs along the length of the 'rope' which forms the loops. Where the trapezoidal loop extends is a flattened pellet to either side, apparently representing a knot. Beyond, along the two short edges of the trapezoidal loop, are three moulded ribs of 'tassel'.Dimensions: length: 32.53mm; width: 17.94mm; thickness: 2.26mm; weight: 1.91g.Similar examples are also recorded on the database e.g. HAMP-02F9B3
