Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy sword belt hanger (c. 1575-c. 1600).Part of the plate is missing at one end. At the opposite end there is a trefoil terminal with the remains of an iron rivet in the central leaf of the trefoil. Beyond the terminal is a neck from which it widens to a shoulder beyond which is another constriction then the central expansion into a lozenge shape. Beyond the centre is another constriction and the plate is broken across this. Close to the break there are the remains of another iron rivet. The front is decorated with foliate decoration in relief in a style known as 'vine scroll'. Two loops (of originally three) project down, one from the central expansion and one half-way between the centre and end. The loops are in the same plane as the plate; they are oval and each has a circular hole. The object is corroded overall with iron staining and the break is old.Length: 41.26mm; width: 28.62mm; thickness: 3.21mm. Weight 9.16g.A complete example has been published (Read 2001: 39, fig. 26, ref: 373).
