Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked mount of 17th century AD date. The object has a square central plate measuring 17.8mm on its side. This plate is hollow on its reverse and has a slightly raised upper surface. Attached above the plate is a small rounded knob with a protrusion at the top and a small iron rivet at its centre. Below the plate is a small rectangular section with three transverse grooves. A small copper-alloy rivet protrudes from the back of this section and may have originally held a back plate in place. Below the rectangular section is a remnant of the hook. It is sub-circular in section and angles backwards. The overall dimensions of the object are 45.2mm high by 17.8mm wide and up to 4.6mm thick. The weight is 9.88g. It is suggested that the purpose of this object may have been to suspend a sword from a baldrick. | 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: | 1600
