Description: | Copper alloy possible sword belt fitting fragment. Cast hook fragment with a curving oval section shank, broken at its tip. A pair of discoid features are set at the base of the hook with a rust stained aperture between them. These features suggest this is from the lower part of a hooked plate forming part of a sword-hanging suite (e.g. Read 2008, pages 217-225, particularly no. 789); the iron marks one of the attachment points to a backing of leather or textile. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Length: 23.3mm, Width: 15.3mm, Thickness: 3.5mm, Weight: 2.88gms
