Description: | Cast copper alloy strap mount length 13mm, width 11mm, thickness 2mm, weight 0.84g. This is a trefoil loop that has a knop projecting outwards from the two lower angles. The attachment end is steeped with a recessed bar that has a rectangular cross-section. This would have been the lower swivel loop on a suspension hanger commonly depicted in contemporary paintings fitted on a belt with a purse suspended from the loop. Excavated examples found in London have been attached to the lower section of bar mounts and date from 1250-1500.
