Description: | Copper alloyPendant Mount. Cast plano-convex or flat-backed mount, with a robust forward-pointing hook of which the tip is lost. Two rivet holes of diameter 2mm served to secure the object to a flat surface, presumably leather. The overall form, with its upper expansion and two lugs at the springing of the hook, is faintly anthropomorphic, though a baluster shape is perhaps intended. Kate Roe kindly suggests this object may have served as part of a sword hanger suite. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Length: 33.4mm, Width: 15.67mm, Thickness: 3.94mm, Weight: 4.44gms.
