Description: | Cast copper alloy double-looped rectangular sword belt hanger with an incomplete circular transverse suspension loop at one end of the strap bar. The frame has a narrowed, recessed strap bar and bevelled inner and outer edges on the outer sides of the loop, so that the outer sides are set at an angle. The patina on the upper face has survived well but there are no traces of black lacquer having been used which is common on these sword belt hangers.Whitehead (2003) illustrates a similar hanger on page 76, No.472, which he suggests was used on a sword belt or to suspend a dagger and dates from c.1500-1630.
