Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy sword belt fitting consisting of a projecting suspension loop and a roughly rectangular plate. The central loop is oval and measures 14.7mm in length and 12.8mm in width. It has a circular hole through it, the inner upper edge of which is worn. The plate measures 31.1mm in width and 18mm in length. It has a central circular perforation, 6.2mm in diameter, with an in situ iron rivet to either side of this. The front face has border decoration along its short edges consisting of a longitudinal groove with diagonal V-shaped notches beyond this along the edges of the plate. The lower edge of the plate has two central V-shaped notches with a semi-circular hole to either side of them. This object appears to be complete, although it is hard to be sure due to wear along its lower edge. This sword belt fitting is most likely to be early post medieval and 16th-17th century in date.
