Description: | Mount with attachment loop from a sword-belt. The main part of the mount is long and narrow, and consists of a transverse ridge, two rounded lobes (the first with an iron rivet) and another transverse ridge, then a rounded knopped terminal with iron rivet. The reverse is hollow. At the opposite end from the knopped terminal is a circular lobe with a raised rim and a thin sheet centre. In the centre is a roughly cruciform hole, which may have been made this shape or be the result of wear. To one side of the circular lobe is a small circular loop. These mounts were probably fixed to the belt to receive a similar hook attached to the sword-scabbard. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1500
