Description: | Copper alloy possible Sword Hanger fragment. Cast bar of round section which tapers slightly from its broken hollow end which passes through a separate collar of diameter 10.2mm, towards an elongated and facetted terminal surmounting its hooked end. The facets of the terminal bear file marks from finishing. A more prosaic and recent identification, as kindly offered by the finder, might be a coat hook, though traces of finishing on the facetted terminal would not survive the wear to be expected from long use. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, possibly 1500-1650,Length (as found): 70.4mm, Diameter (bar): 6.9mm, Weight: 21.88gms.
