Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Post medieval openwork hooked tag

An incomplete post medieval copper alloy openwork hooked tag, missing it's hook and part of the attachment loop. The body of the tag is circular; it is decorated with a linear cross, with central pellet, and a beaded outer border. In each of the quarters created by the cross are four punched circular holes. The attachment has squared corners, one of which has broken off. There is only a stump left where the hook protruded from the opposite side of the circle. The tag measures 23.9mm (length) x 16.0mm (width) x 1.8mm (thickness) and weighs 1.18g.

A similar tag (but complete) is illustrated in Read (2008, 99 ref. 370) which was also found on the Thames Foreshore and is dated to c.1500-1650AD.
