Description: | Incomplete copper alloy or brass hooked mount. The mount has a flat oval body with a broken collared hook at one end. The other end has two everted floreate-like tips, from the centre of which extends a circular and pierced terminal. The hole in the centre would have held a rivet, now missing. The oval body is decorated with an incised circle in the centre from which project four arms each terminating with a smaller circle. There are three more circles in each angle within a border of crescents. The perimeter of the object is decorate with punched circles. There is an incomplete circular sectioned integral shank on the reverse of the mount near the broken bar. The hook is missing. This type of mount is throught to be associated with sword belts.
