A post medieval hooked tag cast in a single piece. The plate is ca 15mm long by 12.5mm wide. The plate was cast with integral decoration which is now worn but appears to have been 3 raised bosses in a triangular arrangement (apex to the top of the plate) set in openwork scrolling. The finish on the scrollwork is not perfect, some of the open holes are in fact blocked by flashes from the casting. The hook is broken off (ca 14mm remaining length). At the top of the plate opposite the hook is a rectangular attachment loop, 12mm wide and projecting 6mm from the plate.

A copper-alloy strap or belt fitting. The item is trapezoidal, resembling a rectangle that does not have its sides at right angles and the two shortest sides lean in the same direction. This appears to be a result of design as opposed to damage. The fitting is pierced in the centre of both of its long sides, presumbably for accomodating a bar on which the fitting would pivet. Any such bar is now missing. The frame broadens to 5.1 mm at the point where these piercings are, before tapering to 2.7 mm, which is the thickness of the rest of the frame. The item measures 44 mm on its length a…

Only a fragment of the dress fastening remains, and this is largely the hook. The hook is sub-rectangular in section and is curved, almost forming a circle. Whether it is meant to be this curved is unsure, instead it maybe damaged. The hook has also been twisted slightly so the hook is no longer perpendicular to the body of the fastening, which presumably it was originally. The body of the fastening is fragmenary and is integral to the hook. In plan the body is sub-oval shape, however all the edges are broken and abraded. No fixing point remains. The upper surface of the body is s…
