Description: | A Post Medieval copper-alloy sword belt hanger. The plate is trapezoidal in plan; with an integral circular attachment loop positioned centrally at the bottom of the item (pictured at the top in image). Within the main body of the object is a circular apeture in between two smaller circular apetures; the two smaller apetures were probably rivet holes for attachment to a leather belt. The top (pictured at the bottom in image) has two small triangular notches between two semi-circular indentations as decorative elements. The item probably dates from the late 16th to 17th centuries AD. Read (2001) and (2008) does not list any similar examples; however recently reported similar examples can be seen on the PAS database: NMS-8A1924 and (with rivets intact) SUR-4AA9B8. Length: 30mm; Width 31mm; Thickness: 2mm.
