Description: | A cast copper alloy hooked mount dating to the Post-Medieval period. The attachment plate consists of three elongated ovals and is flat. In the centre of the top and central oval is a circular iron rivet. Surrounding each rivet are the remains of iron corrosion. Extending from the base of the plate is a backward-facing hook. The hook is D-shaped in cross-section and tapers to a rounded terminal. Attached to the hook is a circular ring which is oval in cross-section. The ring has a diameter of 10.48mm. The object has a mid green patina. Read (2001), p30 suggests that such mounts probably date from the 17th century AD and served to suspend swords from belts. Similar examples can be found in Read, (2001), p42.
