Description: | A cast copper-alloy sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat plate that is triangular in form and tapers to an incomplete hooked terminal at the base. At the centre of the top of the mount the plate has a moulded V-shaped notch and there are projecting transverse knops at juncture of plate and hook. Two small rivet holes are visible at the centre of the plate, each containing the corroded remains of iron rivets. The hook is oval shaped in section and terminates in old breaks above the point where it would have curved backwards. The entire object measures 29.23mm in length, 12.70mm in width, 1.56mm in thickness, and weighs 1.99g. This sword belt fitting is near identical to examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 257-258) and dates to the 16th or 17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
