POST MEDIEVAL HOOKED TAG
1500
A cast copper alloy hooked tag dating to the early post-medieval period. The tag has a sub-circular body with trapezoidal loop and hook. The body of the hooked tag has ropework-decoration around the outer edge, which surrounds a portrait of a human head, probably a female, looking left. The reverse is plain. The hooked tag fits in to Read's (2008) Class E Type 3, the use of which can be dated to AD 1500-1700.
