A Post Medieval copper alloy lace tag dating 16th -17th century, Type 2 ( Margeson 1993:22-23). This lace tag is constructed from a piece of sheet copper alloy, the long edges are folded over and then the sheet is rolled to form a tapering cylinder. The lace tag would secure the lace along its length, with the folded edges gripping the lace. There is a hole approximately a quarter down the length of the tag but the edges appear to be irregular suggesting it is damage rather than a rivet hole. There are no rivets and no decoration. The lace tag is bent, although this is probably post depositional damage.
Dimensions: length: 36.49mm; diameter: 2.92mm; weight: 0.55g.
