Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy sword belt fitting (17th century). The fitting comprises a plate with a loop for suspension. The loop has been decoratively moulded to resemble a zoomorphic head. The loop has been slightly angled so that the tip of the zoomorphic head connects with a rounded projection on the top corner of the plate. The plate has two rounded projections, one on each side, at the junction where the loop meets the plate. The plate then expands to form the bulbous lower half. There is a rivet hold in the centre of the plate but the rivet is no longer present. The entire front surface of the plate is decorated with a moulded floral pattern. Pale-mid green patina.
