Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy hooked fitting. The fitting is formed of a single strip of copper alloy bent at 180 degrees one third of the way along its length. The end of the longer piece has a forward projecting knop on the front of the terminal. It is rectangular in section and expands gradually in width from the terminal on the longer piece to the other end where it angles in to a long point. It is 44.4mm long in the bent form, 10.7mm wide and each side is 2.5mm thick, 10.9mm thick in total; it weighs 7.29 grams.Similar but more decorated fittings have been identified as possible sword belt mounts of the 16th-18th centuries, e.g. HAMP-F08F8, SUSS-F469B6, HAMP-8FB596 and HAMP-10BEA6 on this database.
