An incomplete post-medieval belt clasp of 16th to 17th century date. It consists of a flat, elaborately shaped plate. At the complete end is a crescent shaped projection which would have secured the male clasp to a female clasp.

A post-medieval copper alloy sword belt hanger. The object comprises a thick framed oval loop with a hook extending from the base. Discussion (taken from https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/belt-hooks/) The size and shape of the loop has led to such objects being described as 'belt hooks' (Goodall 2011, 360; Goodall in Saunders 2012, 107-108), with the loop slid onto a belt strap and something looped over the hook end and suspended from the curve at the base. It has often been suggested that purses were mainly suspended from such belt hooks (Read 2008, 214; Goodal…
