Description: | A complete copper-alloy sword belt fitting consisting of a plate with a suspension loop, to be fitted onto the belt. The plate is roughly triangular in shape measuring 30mm in length and 14.5mm in width. The terminal which is not a loop has a concave edge. There is an iron rivet through the plate at this end. The loop holds a copper-alloy circular ring, measuring 13mm in external diameter and 12.5mm in internal diameter.
Sword belt fittings are post medieval and dated to the 16th and 17th centuries. | 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
