Description: | A cast copper alloy hooked mount dating to the Post-Medieval period. The central portion of the mount is sub-oval in plan and domed, with a hollow underside. Extending upwards from the top is rounded lobe which has a central rivet hole and a transverse ridge at its base. The rivet measures 2.25mm in diameter.Attached to the hook is an incomplete trefoil attachment with three incomplete perforations. The object would have been used to suspend a sword scabbard. The object has a corroded light green to reddish brown surface.A similar mount is illustrated by Read (2001: 42, no. 362), who believes it to be 17th century in date and suggests that such objects were designed to suspend sword scabbards from belts.
