Description: | A copper-alloy hooked mount of post-Medieval date.The upper portion of the mount consists of an inverted sub-triangular plate, the long sides tapering downwards from the horizontal top side. The hook has flat surfaces and is backward-facing, the point touching the back of the plate. A separate wire ring is held in place by the hook. Within the plate, located centrally, one above the other, are the heads of two in-situ iron rivets. The artefact measures 38.1mm long, 12.9mm wide and 7.5mm thick. The weight is 4.67.Similar mounts are illustrated by Read (2001: 30/fig. 25), who suggests that they are probably 17th century in date and served to suspend swords from belts.
