Description: | A copper-alloy hooked mount. A similar mount is illustrated by Read (2001: 42, no. 362), who believes it to be 17th century in date and suggests that such objects were designed to suspend sword scabbards from belts.The central portion of the mount is sub-oval in plan and domed, with a hollow underside. Extending upwards from the top is rounded lobe which has a central rivet hole, a transverse ridge at its base and a narrow, rounded projection at the top. At the base of the mount is a transverse ridge above a backward-facing hook. A copper-alloy rivet protrudes from the back of this lower ridge. A separate element hangs from this hook. It comprises three open-work lobes; a short projection extends from between two of these lobes.The artefact measures 47.7mm long, 15.9mm wide and 8mm thick. The weight is 7.38g.
