Description: | A Post Medieval corroded cast copper-alloy hooked mount or strap fitting. The mount is broadly triangular in plan, at its base tapering to an inward-curving hook with a rounded end. The mount is flat with straight edges. It features two rivet holes, one towards the upper edge, which still contains the iron rivet while the other hole is towards the hook. The artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with little of the variable green patina surviving. A similar object can be seen in Norich Households p 39, ref 258. It is suggested that they are associated with sword belts.
