Description: | Incomplete post medieval copper alloy sword belt fitting, missing about a third of the hook.
The mount itself is D-shaped in section and roughly pointed oval in shape, with a triangular terminal extending from the end opposite the hook.
The hook extends from a collar and it is square in section, 3.5x3.5mm, narrowing to c.2x2mm at the break.
The mount is decroated with a foliate design, unusually not symmetrical, with curving incised lines and circles extending from one side of the mount toward the bottom. An incised line also flanks the edge of the mount.
There are the remains of two iron rivets, one at the base of the mount near the hoor, the other in the trinagular terminal.
Measures 46.6x17.2x2.7mm.
