Description: | A copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date. Several such mounts are illustrated by Read (2001, fig. 25), who suggests that they are sword-belt hooks, probably dating from the 17th century AD. The upper portion of the mount takes the form of an irregular, sub-lozengiform plate, tapering into a rectangular tab. Extending from the base of this tab is a damaged (probably) forward-facing hook. Within the plate are two rivet holes, one close to the top point, the lower containing remnants of an iron rivet.The mount is heavily corroded. It measures 53.6mm long, 21.2mm wide and 11.5mm thick (depth of the hook element). The weight is 8.6g.
