Description: | Cast copper alloy hooked mount dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object consists of a rounded body which terminates in a rounded projecting knop at one end and a hook at the other. Attached to the hook is a trefoil attachment with three perforations. The object would have been used to suspend a sword scabbard. A similar example is no.362, p.42, Read, (2001). The object has a mottled green and brown patina and can be dated to the 17th century.
