Description: | Copper alloy strap hooked fitting, possibly associated with a sword belt, probably of 16th or 17th century date. The mount has scrolled foliate decoration on its face. It would have had two suspension loops, one is now broken. The mount has an elaborate shape with trifoliate terminal and widens to the mid-point where it becomes waisted either side of the attachment loops. The mount is likely to have had three attachment holes, one at each terminal and one in the centre, one of the holes retains an iron pin. The mount has an old break at one end, and has broken into two pieces recently. A broken ring with a ball end is still present in the complete loop. | 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
