Description: | A cast copper-alloy sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat plate that is triangular in form, slightly curved in profile, and tapers to an incomplete hooked terminal at the base. The attachment end has a V-shaped notch and there are two small rivet holes are visible at the centre of the plate containing the corroded remains of iron rivets. At the base of the plate there is a single transverse groove. The hook is D-shaped in section and curves backwards to a rounded point that is now missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 34.43mm in length, 12.21mm in width, 2.13mm in thickness, and weighs 3.56g. This sword belt fitting is near identical to examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 257-258) and dates to the 16th or 17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
