An incomplete Early Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy sword belt fitting, consisting of a hooked plate looped into a suspension loop with a fragment of adjoining mount.

The hooked plate is roughly triangular in form, with the remains (worn break) of a pierced knop (for the iron rivet) at one end while the globular-terminalled hook, which curves back on itself to meet the decorated face of the p…

The snouts grasp the attachment end, which is oval in form with a circular aperture that would have originally enabled the loop to swivel. This strap fitting measures 21.33mm in lengt…
