Description: | A sword belt hook, cast/ wrought in copper alloy. The artefact consists of a trapezoidal strip narrowing to a hook at one end. Between the hook and body there are decorative indentations in the edges. There is a decorative line down the centre of the artefact, and this face is 'creased' in the manner of a simple linen-style wall panel. There are two broken-off copper alloy rivets embedded in holes along this centreline. Broadly speaking the item is shield-shaped, with a decoratively indented open end, although when worn it would have been the other way up. The surface is greyish-green and quite pitted. This artefact dates to between 1500 and 1650.
