Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy mount with loop for a pendant or hook, probably part of a sword-belt set, roughly rectangular with very slightly convex front, scalloped upper edge, sides with diagonal slashes giving cable effect, centrally placed circular perforation, integral suspension loop in centre of lower edge and two iron-filled rivet holes. Compare with very similar Norfolk examples from Stanfield (HER 7241) and Filby (HER 33540), and one from Gedgrave in Suffolk (PAS SF-F01E48, with discussion of date and function, and list of other examples on the PAS). The scalloping, the openwork aperture and the cabling are commonly encountered on post-medieval sword-belt fittings (for example Read 2008 nos. 753-6). Height 27mm. Width 25mm. Dates from the 16th - 17th century.
