Description: | Cast copper alloy mount with engraved foliate decoration on the upper face and one rivet hole within a trefoil terminal. The main body of the mount is triangular in plan. This is very similar in style to typical 16th-century sword belt hangers (see Read, 2001, p.43, Fig.26, No.373). The mount does not appear to be a broken hook, so may instead be an en suite item, perhaps used as a belt stud.Read (2001) illustrates similar en suite items on page 41, Fig.24, Nos.349-50, which are dated to the 16th century.
