Description: | Copper alloy mount with a large circular aperture and small side attachment loop at one end. The body of the mount is curvilinear in outline and decorated with a cast foliate design. This is similar to the style and decoration of other objects identified as sword belt fittings of the 16th century. The body of the mount has an iron rivet at each end for attachment. The circular framed aperture projects from the body of the mount, beyond the end rivet. The aperture is irregular. At one side of the circular frame is a small circular loop or suspension loop. The back is undecorated and hollowed. | 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
