Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval belt hanger. The attachment terminal is an oval loop, with rectangular sides c. 4.6mm in width and the loop measuring 17.7mm in length. The shaft beneath the loop has a narrow collar 3.75mm wide and is curved round to form a semi-circular hook, the terminal of which is missing due to old breaks. The curved shaft is a flattened oval shape in section and c.5mm in width. The hanger measures 36.83mm in overal length, 20.13mm in width and weighs 7.97g. Its function is uncertain, but a belt was probably passed through the loop which allowed the attachment of an object such as small knife or purse. For a complete example see BH-4A9D88.
