Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy hooked mount. The mount is sub-rectangular in plan with an incurved (U-shaped) upper edge with rounded corners and slightly concave sides. There is an indented transverse line across the front above the hook. The rectangular sectioned hook is bent back 180 degrees and the tip is missing. The front is slightly convex and the centre of the back is concave. There is a single rivet hole slightly off centre and near the upper end. It is now 29.6mm long, 12.1mm wide and 2.0mm thick, 8.6mm including the hook; it weighs 2.92 grams.Comparable hooked mounts can be found illustrated in Margeson (1993, 39; refs.: 257, 258) where they are dated to c.1550-1650 AD. Such mounts were probably associated with sword belts.
