An incomplete Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) hooked tag, consisting of an incomplete openwork plate and a rectangular loop. The hook is missing. It measures 17.19mm in incomplete length, 14.96mm in width, 1.67mm in max.thickness and weighs 1.19g.
Flanking the rectangular loop (internal measurement 11.21x3.16mm) is a wide (7mm), concave cross-sectioned groove. Beyond this is openwork decoration with a circular hole at each corner and below and between a trefoil. The edges of this has worn breaks.
The broad transverse groove is comparable to several in Read (2008). See for example ff.88, nos.298, 299, 312-4.

A complete copper alloy ring or loop which functioned as a curtain fitting, of Post Medieval dating (15th to 17th Centuries AD).
It is sub-circular in shape with an irregular circular cross section with rounded edges. In profile the loop is flat.
It measures 22.9 mm external diameter, 16.9 mm internal diameter and 3.2 mm thick. The ring is 4.3 mm wide. It weighs 4.4 grams.
The curtain fitting is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.
Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson (1993, p. 82, Fig 47, #522-524). Margeson describes them as being suspension rings which were probably multi-functional, including curtain rings. The three excavated from Norwich (No. 522-524) date from the mid 15th to mid 17th century. Egan (pers comm) suggested they date from the 14th to 18th century and there is evidence they were used as curtain rings.
