Description: | This copper-alloy object is probably a snake form belt hook which dates from the 16th century. It appears to have zoomorphic (snake) heads at either end, although the item is quite worn and the design is difficult to make out. The item is 41 mm in length. Such styles of belt hook came back into use at the end of the 18th century, so it is possible that this item actually has a date later than the 16th century (Bailey 1997, 20-21). | 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: | 1550
