Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy sword belt fitting of early post-medieval date. The fitting consists of a flat plate, boradly rectangular in plan with irregular sub-rounded and triangular cut-outs down each long side. At either end is a rivet hole, only one of which survives intact, to secure the fitting to the belt. At the lower centre edge of the fitting is an integrally cast loop to take sword belt hangers. Although a preliminary search did not identify an exact parallel, sword belt hangers of different designs are a common find and are thought to date to the 16th or 17th century AD.
