Description: | Incomplete 16th/ 17th century cast copper alloy sword belt fitting, measuring 22.1mm long by 17.5mm wide by 1.8mm thick and weighing 2.37g. The mount is flat on the front and back with slightly bevelled edges. In shape the remaining part is circular with a central 6.5mm diameter piercing and three horizontal projections extending to two opposite sides. On the third side is a projecting rectangular piece which would have led to a knop, lost to an old break (see WILT-52F884). Opposite is a projection which widens from when it meets the circular part into a rectangular bar with a small central piercing filled with iron corrosion and two small knops to either side. This bar would have formed one end of a rectangular frame which would have had a loop projecting to left or right. Into the frame a second part of the fitting would have twisted, probably with a bar (cf.SUR-9C9712).
