Description: | Cast copper alloy hooked mount, probably Post-Medieval in date. The attachment end element is 23.1mm wide and has four rivet holes (rivets are missing), a central knop and a crescentic end edge. It joins to the central element which is sub-circular, 19.76mm wide tapering to 7.57mm wide. The central element is decorated with a raised floral design. The central element is separated from the hooked element by a 12.95mm wide band with two transverse grooves. The hook is formed of a plain stem 6.38mm wide which has been bent backwards. The length of the entire object is 66.9mm. It varies in thickness from 2.16mm to 3.54mm.The mount is larger than a hooked mount that would normally hang from a sword belt and may be later in date than most hooked mounts. It has a dark brownish green patina with a very small amount of light green corrosion product within the pits on the rear face.
