Description: | An early postmedieval sword belt hanger: double-loop variety.
A cast copper alloy sword belt hanger, dating to between c. AD 1500 and 1630. The complete hanger would have been oval in shape with a central bar, but only approximately half remains. There is an integrally cast circular suspension loop, which confirms the object's identification as a sword belt hanger.. The fact that it is set at right angles to the buckle frame indicates a 16th/early 17th century date (during the 14th & 15th centuries, the suspension loop on this type of buckle lay in the same plain as the buckle frame).
