Description: | A copper-alloy hooked mount of suggested 17th century AD date (B. Read; 2001; pp. 30, no. 363). It is thought that such hooks served as a means of suspending a sword from a belt.The main section is roughly ovoid, being slightly wider at the top end, where there is also terminal knop. Situated within this ovoid section are two small rivet holes, one above the other, both of which contain iron corrosion. At the bottom the mount tapers into a backwards facing hook, which is of semi-circular section and has a squared-off end.The mount measures 38.8mm long, 12.7mm wide and 8.6mm deep. The weight is 3.73g.
