An incomplete and bent cast copper-alloy openwork sword belt fitting of post-medieval date. The artefact consists of an incomplete plate and complete hooked fitting. The incomplete openwork plate is sub-rectangular in plan with moulded edges. In the centre there is an asymmetrical 'X' openwork design. The left hand and central elements of the plate is missing; the right hand element has a central perforation which contains iron corrosion product. The tabs connecting this latter and the central plate have been bent as a result of old damage. Protruding from the lower edge of the plate …

A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount/strap-fitting (c. 17th century AD). The mount is sub-triangular in plan, terminating at the apex in a broadly acorn-shaped knop. The is a trefoilate protrusion at the other, flattened end. The upper surface is decorated with three pairs of diagonal lines running from the edges towards the centre. On the reverse there is a pair of lugs which emerge from low circular platforms; both are incomplete due to old breaks. The lower surface is otherwise flat and plain with a slight concavity at the centre. The mount is a largely mid-/da…

A corroded and damaged cast copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-trapezoidal in plan with a cusped upper edge. It tapers towards the hook (now missing). The mount is broadly flat with slight bevelling on its upper surface. It features two iron rivets, one towards the upper edge, the other just below the centre of the plate. Much of the lower rivet survives corroded in place. The mount has corroded to a red-brown colour overlain with patches of large light-green and off-white corrosion product. Comparable hooked mounts can be found illustrated in Margeson (…

An incomplete corroded cast copper-alloy strap fitting of post-medieval date. The object consists of two rectangular plates (30.95mm by 7.1mm) which narrow towards the top. The plates are joined and bent round such that they are parallel. The plates have a rectangular cross-section. One plate is at the terminal. They are joined together by a pair of rivets which survive, one towards the loop and one towards the terminal. At the join is a circular ring which is 11.45mm in diameter and 1.55mm thick.

A worn and corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy uniface mount in the form of an acorn. On the upper face the acorn is moulded and the cup delineated from the nut by a transverse ridge flanked by grooves.

A complete cast copper-alloy strap-fitting of post-medieval date. The mount is symmetrical in form made up of a three sections arranged in a row: a small central oval body which contracts slightly at either end before expanding into broadly circular terminals. The upper surface is slightly convex with two transverse ridges at the junctions of the body and terminals. The lower surface is flat with two pointed spikes, missing their tips, projecting from behind the two transverse ridges. Similar mounts can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 36; fig. 21).

An incomplete and bent cast copper-alloy openwork sword belt fitting of Post-medieval date, the artefact is probably the reverse plate of a sword belt fitting. The openwork plate is sub-rectangular in plan with moulded edges. In the centre there is an asymmetrical 'X' openwork design. Either side of the open work there is a perforation to hold a rivet, one survives. Protruding from the lower edge of the back plate are the vestigle remains of two oval loops, which are missing due to old breaks. The left hand edge of the fitting is complete, to the right the arefact is incomplete, two b…

Cast copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount) of probable post-medieval date (1500-1700). The openwork strap fitting is irregular in plan. The overall decorative design consists of an openwork square at the tip adjacent to an old break. Below this is a broadly oval expansion which terminates in a circular knop. The oval expansion is concave on the reverse and the openwork square is flat. There are two sub rectangular projections which extend from either end of the oval expansion. The strap fitting has been bent outwards slightly.

A corroded and bent cast copper-alloy post-medieval sword-belt hanger/mount. This strap-fitting consists of a mount with three suspension loops from which a trio of hooked plates would have hung; in turn, the scabbard straps would have been attached to these plates. The mount features foliate decoration on its visible face. Such fittings are rarely found complete, rather elements or broken examples are far more common. However, an illustration of another complete sword-belt fitting can be found in Read (2001, 43; ref. 373). Such fittings 'proliferate in the 16th and 17th centuries' (G…

A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy gilt post-medieval strap mount in the form of a moulded fleuret. The fleuret is nonafoil, with a slightly raised convex centre, moulded pellets at the end of each lobe, and possible decoration in the field obscured by corrosion. The lower surface features a pair of incomplete pointed lugs, one of which has been bent to one side (L.: c. 3.75mm), the other of which is vestigial. A comparable mount can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 33; ref. 270) date approximately to the 17th century AD. The mount has corroded to a mid-green colour with areas o…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy post-medieval convex mount, probably a harness mount. The mount is quatrefoil in design consisting of a central boss with protruding spokes with an openwork design. The boss is square in shape; from each side radiates a spoke connecting the boss to the outer design. The boss is delineated by incised lines. The spokes terminate in fleurs-de-lis that are conjoined; this makes for a heart-shaped openwork. The central element of each lis protrudes in a lobed knop. The radiating spokes and the outer design are trapezoidal in cross section; the lower surface …
