Description: | Incomplete copper alloy sword belt fitting. The fitting is roughly oval in shape culminating at one end in a bi-lobed projection. It is slightly curved in profile. At the other the remains of a hook, presumably from which a pendant would have hung. The front of the object is decorated with an engraved design - a line around the outside edge containing within it four curved double lines, one at each corner. Within each of the four corner sections bordered by these lines are four engraved semi-circles arranged in a row, whilst in the central section is a number of small engraved circles arranged in a flower-like pattern. The reverse has the remains of an iron rivet just below the suspension loop. This fitting is very similar in detail to one shown in Read (2008, p.221), no.797, to which Read attributes a 17th century date. Length: 54.29mm, Width: 29.17mm, Thickness: 5.44mmWeight: 15.60g
