Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked mount. A probable sword belt fitting. The mount originally had two leaf shaped arms with small rivet holes at the top (one arm is missing). Below this is a transverse rectilinear plate with deeply cast parallel grooves and ridges decorating it. There is a central iron rivet in this element. Below this the mount tapers into a forward hooked hook-piece. Flanking the upper part of the hook are two crescent projections. There is an incised downward chevron at the centre of the upper part of the hook-piece. The back is undecorated. There is a short intagral rivet or stud at the back of the hook.
Date: Post-medieval - 16th to 17th century
