Description: | Cast copper alloy hooked mount dating to the Post-Medieval period. The attachment plate is triangular or elongated heart shaped in plan with an indent in the centre of the shorter top edge and long sides that taper towards the hook. The object contains two circular rivet holes. Extending from the base of the plate is a backward-facing hook of tapering, D-shaped section. A D-shaped sectioned ring is attached to the hook. The object has a mid-green patina and is in good condition. Read (2001, p. 30) suggests that such mounts probably date from the 17th century AD and served to suspend swords from belts. For a parallel on the PAS database see BH-571E67 or BH-BAB185.
