Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy sword belt fitting, 51.3mm long, 21.2mm wide and 2.1mm thick, weight 8.8g. The object is roughly foliate in form, with incised decoration forming a leaf pattern. It has a trefoil shaped terminal at one end and two lugs flanking a hook at the other. The hook has a spherical terminal. There are two circular fixing holes one near the trefoil terminal and one above the hook, the one by the terminal is encrusted with iron corrosion. This would have been one of two or three fittings that together formed a hanging arrangement for a sword, date 1550 - 1700 AD. | Subjects: | Sword belt | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
