Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked tag of Post-Medieval date belonging in Read's Early Post-Medieval Class E Type 3 group. It is missing the terminal end of the hook due to old breaks. The object has a sub-oval shaped plate with moulded and openwork decoration, and an integral rectangular sewing loop that is rectangular in section at the top of the plate. The decorative elements comprise a central hatched lozenge (or pineapple?) motif, with V-shaped moulding below, and a trefoil or trifoliate collar at the top where the plate and loop meet. To each side are a series of openwork motifs and an engrailed edge. Extending from the base of the plate is the integral hook. This is rectangular in form, trapezoidal in cross-section, and terminates in old breaks. The entire object measures 33.53mm in length , 16.40mm in width, 1.97mm in thickness, and 2.71g in weight.This is an incomplete hooked tag of Post-Medieval date. It finds close parallels in examples published by Read (2008: nos. 402-404) and falls in his Early Post-Medieval Clas E Type 3 hooked tags. These indicate a probable 16th-17th century AD date for the current example.
