Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy openwork mount or fitting, probably from a sword belt or similar object. It comprises a trefoil-shaped plate that has trefoil openwork decoration at its centre and a projecting attachment lug at the base(?) with central circular rivet hole. At the top(?) f the object are projecting semi-circular lobes with a central circular rivet hole, above which extends a rectangular arm that terminates in old breaks. The entire object measures 44.65mm in length, 21.59mm in width, 2.88mm in thickness, and weighs 5.03g.This object is identical to a hooked section from a sword belt fitting published by Read from Wiltshire (Read, 2008: no. 802). This is dated to the 16th or 17th centuries AD and suggests a similar date range for the current object.
