Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy mount. Possible sword belt hanger of 16th to 17th century AD date. The upper section of the mount is symmetrical. The horizontal upper edge has three lobes, while each of the two vertical edges comprises two concave indentations and two pointed projections set alternately. This upper section contains two rivet holes, one at the top and one at the bottom. The lower hole contains a copper-alloy rivet which projects at the back and has a circular stop. The surface of the upper section has cast foliate decoration. From the base of the upper section extends a circular projection at the centre of which is a roughly cross-shaped void. A small circular suspension loop is joined to the right hand side (as you look at it) of this basal projection. The object is slightly bent and worn. It measures 42.7mm long by 22.8mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 5.7g. | Subjects: | Sword belt | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
