Description: | A copper-alloy hooked mount of post-Medieval date.The main portion of the mount consists of a domed, inverted-drop-shaped plate with facetted upper surface and flat underside. Projecting vertically from the top is a rounded lobe with basal collar, pointed projection at its apex and a rivet hole containing iron corrosion. At its bottom end the domed central plate tapers towards a rearward hook which has been bent into a closed loop. The junction between the plate and hook is marked by a transverse collar, with the remains of a second rivet on the reverse.Dimensions: 55.7mm long, 24mm wide, 8.7mm deep. Weight: 16.91g.Similar hooked mounts are illustrated by Read (2001: fig. 25), who suggests that most probably date from the 17th century and are sword-belt fittings. For a parallel on the PAS database, see BH-87F014.
