A Post Medieval copper alloy hooked tag. It is composite with a sheet metal hook and loop soldered onto the reverse of a die-stamped front plate. The trefoil front plate is composed of three hollow-domed bosses with central recessed dots and incised frill edges. These three bosses are separated by bars radiating from a central domed rivet; each of the bars has a central linear groove. The reverse of the front plate is filled with solder which secures the hook and the loop. The hook is constructed from a length of copper sheet with a sharpened point. It measures 24.1mm (length) x 17.8mm (width) x 10.5mm (thickness) and it weighs 4.05g.<\/p>\n
