Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy sword belt mount (c. 1500-c 1600). It is moulded at the front and flat and plain at the rear. At the bifid end it has a width of 16.3mm. From this end it curves and narrows in plan and then flares outwards to a width of 15.0mm and then narrows to an old break that has occurred across a circular rivet hole. Below this hole there is an integral loop with an aperture, sub-circular in plan. The front of the mount has a scrolled foliate design, now barely visible due to wear or corrosion. The object is corroded and is covered in loose light green copper-alloy corrosion deposits. 37.6 x 24.5 x 2.2mm. Weight: 4.33g. A similar mount is illustrated in Read 2001: 43 and dated c. 1500-c. 1600. However, this Isle of Wight find possesses only one attachment loops, rather than the three shown illustrated in Read.
