Description: | Copper alloy 17th century hooked mount, possibly part of a fitting for suspending a sword scabbard. The fitting is asymmetrical in shape and consists of an oval central convex plate with a collar at each end. At the top there is a second smaller convex lobe with a circular rivet hole in the centre and from the bottom there is a curved hook, bending around the back. The reverse of the object is hollow with a second rivet above the hook. The object weighs 5.44g and measures 45mm in length, 12.05mm in width and 4.5mm in thickness. A similar example can be seen in ??Metal Artefacts of Antiquity?? by Brian Read, page 42, No.362. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
