Description: | Incomplete medieval copper alloy mount, a D-sectioned bar, one end missing, the other ending in an incomplete and distorted hook next to a rivet hole near which are a pair of cusps and two transverse ribs. A flat-topped rectangular boss near the break may have been placed centrally. It is uncertain to what type of object this would have been attached. It was probably some type of strap, whether harness or sword belt. The surfaces are quite worn and there is no sign of gilding. Other broadly similar pieces have been recorded, from Bedfordshire (BH-E6A7D6 and ESS-E34CF3), Northamptonshire (NARC-23AD08), Suffolk (SF-DOF262; read 2008, 217, no. 779) and Surrey (HAMP-49C304). Extant length excluding hook 46mm (estimated length without hook and with boss assumed to have been central 70mm. Width 11mm. Thickness 2.5 - 3.3mm.13th - 14th century.No. 3 on annotated map in file.
