Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy sword belt fitting (16th ?? 17th century). The fitting comprises a plate with a hook (to be fitted onto the scabbard straps). The plate is decorated with scrolled foliage motifs and it has a curved profile with two lobes projecting both at the top and the base of the plate and two lobes projecting just above the midpoint. At the top and bottom is a rivet hole and both are stained with iron corrosion; the remains of an iron rivet still remains in the upper rivet hole. There is a separate loop attached to the hook. The bottom of the loop is broken and is possibly from another section of the belt fitting.
