Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy Post-Medieval hooked strap fitting or mount from a sword belt. The mount consists of a domed sub-circular central plate, which is concave on the reverse, with a smaller sub-oval terminal as an attachment point above and a hooked projection below. It is cast-in-one with raised collars separating the three components of the fitting. The sub-oval terminal is pierced to take a copper alloy rivet, traces of which remain. The hooked terminal is circular in section but is broken as it starts to curve. The stub of an additional probable attachment point, which is copper alloy and circular in section, can be seen located on the reverse above the hook. This fitting has a dark green patina. Compare DENO-CEE626.
