Description: | a copper alloy post-medieval hooked mount of probable 17th century date. It is a flat trapezoidal plate, tapering to one short terminal which extends into an inward-turning hook. There are the remains of two rivets in the centre of the plate, and a possible third rivet hole in the upper edge of the mount. It measures 32.47mm in length including the hook, and is 12.13mm in width at the upper edge, and 6.45mm in width just above the hook, which is 3.46mm wide. It weighs 2.14g. An identical example from Norwich dates to 1600-1650.Goodall in Margeson (see ref)says that hooked mounts hung from loops on a bar attached to a sword-belt and the slings for the sword could be attached to the mount using rivets. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
