Description: | Cast copper alloy sword belt hook dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object consists of a circular plate with an incomplete hook projection from one end and an incomplete rounded attachment knop at the opposite end. The knop is pierced and would have contained a rivet. The plate tapers before expanding into a decorative collar above the projecting hook. The hook is incomplete. The outer face of the object is decorated with punched annulet decoration in the form of an inverted V. Within the base of the inverted V is a single large punched annulet. Three elongated ovoid petals radiate down from the attachment-knop. The border of the object is decorated with a series of annulets within punched Vs beyond which are punched crescents. On the rear of the object is a single rivet. The rear is undecorated. The object has a mid-green patina. It can be dated to the 17th century.Similar examples can be found in Read, (2008), p222
