Description: | A complete copper-alloy sword belt fitting, measuring 50mm in length and 21mm in width, at its widest point. This sword belt fitting consists of a plate with a suspension hook. The plate is irregularly shaped, it has a roughly heart shaped central part which is waisted at either end and then both terminals flare outwards horizontally, one with a central triangular projection and the other with a central hook. The front face of the plate is decorated with a foilage motif consisting of a central stem with curving leaves branching off from it. There are central iron rivets through both terminals of the plate. The hook curves in a U-shaped towards the front face and terminates with an oval shaped knop. This sword belt fitting is post medieval and 16th-17th century in date.
