Description: | A cast copper alloy sword belt fitting hook plate with scrolled foliage decoration, dating from c. 1500-1700. The mount has a trilobed terminal, then a narrowed waist and a teardrop shaped body with side protrusions at the apex. The hook end has broken off and is missing. There are two rivet holes; one at the apex of the mount at the break, and one in the centre of the trilobed terminal, which still contains a copper alloy rivet. The mount has a dark green patina. It is 30.6mm long, 20.7mm wide and 4.9mm thick. It weighs 6.4gm. This plate would have been one of three attached to the scabbard, and the hooks would have articulated with three loops depending from a larger plate on the belt.
