Description: | A copper alloy suspension mount probably from a sword belt fitting dating from the 16th or 17th century. This hooked plate would have been attached to the scabbard and would have interacted with corresponding loops on the belt. It is sub triangular with a convex wide base, bifurcated terminals at the corners, and concave notches in the sides. The hook has broken away at the top. The plate has one rivet hole in the centre at the base and is decorated by a transverse line near the base. It has a dark brown patina. It has a length of 35.28mm, width 35.30mm, thickness 2.43mm, weight 6.93g. A similar but plainer example is SWYOR-C49EE7. It may have been paired with a plate similar to SF3407.
