Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked mount. Several similar examples are illustrated in Read, 2001, p. 42. It is suggested that they date from the 17th century and probably served to suspend a sword from a belt.
The upper part of the mount consists of a circular, slightly domed, plate. The damaged backward-facing hook tapers downwards from the underside of this circular part. The upper part of the hook element is decorated with three transverse ridges separated by grooves. A rivet sits within a hole close to the top of the circular plate; it protrudes at the back of the mount, where it is bent.
The object has corroded surfaces. It measures 31.6mm long, 18mm wide and 5.8mm thick. The weight is 3.81g. | 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 |
