Description: | Cast copper alloy hooked suspension mount, probably from a sword belt hanger, with integral suspension loop and two rivet holes with separate iron rivets intact. Above the hook the mount has scalloped bifid edges along its sides, which taper to a transverse collar, and then expand into a hollow bell shape with flanged edges at the terminal. The back of this bell-shaped section is hollow and 6 mm in depth.Read (2001) illustrates a suspension mount, with the hook curving inwards as this example does, from Devon on page 42, fig.25, no.362, which is dated from the 17th century.
