Description: | A sheet copper alloy Post-Medieval hooked mount. It has a trefoil terminal with a rivet hole in the upper foil, and a further rivet at the centre between the two lower foils. The mount expands into a small knopped plate before tapering to a hook. This bends backwards to form an almost-enclosed loop, from which a ring is suspended. The latter is faceted and flattened, and there are traces of a white metal coating on both sides of the mount.It measures 40.4mm in length and is 15mm in maximum width. The hook is 4mm in width and the ring is 11.5mm in diameter and 2.5mm in width. The mount weighs 4.48g. It is most likely a sword-belt fitting, and a similar hooked mount is noted in Margeson 1993, fig.22 no.259. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
