A copper alloy hooked mount, probably a sword belt fitting dating from the 16th or 17th centuries. The plate is rectangular in shape (wider than it is tall) and has two rivet holes in it. One of the holes still contains the rivet. The hook or loop is incomplete, with a little missing from the end making it unclear if it was a closed circle or not. It projects from a long side of the mount and curves forwards into a circle. The object has a length of 26.09mm, width 25.51mm, thickness 1.79mm, weight 6.31g. KENT-558F51 is a similar fitting.
