Description: | A fragment of a post-medieval copper-alloy mount. It is suggested that this type of artefact is designed to suspend a sword from a belt (B. Read; 2001; pp. 39). It probably dates from the 16th or 17th century AD. For a complete example, see PAS record no. BH-BA2E32.The fragment represents the upper part of the mount. The upper edge is scalloped and the opposing vertical sides are concave. The upper face has cast decoration, mainly comprising vine-like scroll, but also with a central three-lobed leaf and a raised outer rim. At the centre of the top edge is the remnant of an iron rivet. The reverse of the piece is flat and plain. It measures 17.2mm high, 16.9mm wide and 2.4mm thick. The weight is 1.73g.
