Description: | Cast copper alloy sword belt hook dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object is sub-rectangular in plan with a rounded top. There is a slot that runs from the centre of the base up three quarters the length of the plate; this divides the lower half into two rectangular sections. The upper section is semicircular and has a hook at the top for suspension onto a belt. The rectangular sections have an undulating base and are decorated with a floral motif, both has a single rivet hole at the base with the iron rivet remaining in situ. The semicircular section has six curved lines radiating from the base of the hook, below is a linear band decorated with square panels, there is a loop at either end of the band. At each end of the top panel is an iron rivet in situ. The object has a mid-green patina. A similar example which can be found on the database is SF2692.
