An incomplete copper-alloy post-medieval sword belt fitting, dating to the period AD 1600-1700. It measures 90.21mm in length, 23.61mm at maximum width and 13.62mm at maximum thickness. It is incomplete insofar as the loop at the very end of fitting has broken off, and whatever attachment ran between the two rivet holes has now been lost. The fitting is broadly rectangular, and from the loop at the top it extends slightly widthways to make two knops, one either side. These knops have been incised slightly, which extends 11.82mm in length. From here, the main body of the fitting is bro…

A complete half of a cast copper-alloy two-piece medieval swivel fitting, dating to the period c.1100-1500. This half of the swivel fitting is the 'female' half of the swivel fitting, and has a D-shaped frame. The frame measures 27.76mm in height and is 23.28mm in width. The frame of the loop measures 1.72mm in thickness, widening to zoomorphic terminals measuring 4.55mm thick. These terminal decorations have a prominent brow-ridge and hold in place between them a broadly circular attachment loop, where the 'male' fitting would have been inserted. This attachment loop measures 14.31m…

An incomplete copper-alloy medieval bar-mount, dating to the period 1270-1400. The bar mount measures 24.44mm in length and 14.17mm in width with a maximum thickness of 9.02mm. It weighs 1.51g. It is incomplete as both rivets are missing, although oxidisation in one of the terminal lobes indicates the presence of an iron rivet. The two terminal lobes are solid and domed to the front with a central rivet hole. The central lobe has a slight hollowing to the reverse and is domed to the front, decorated with five transverse grooves. The majority of similarly decorated bar mounts with c…

An incomplete copper-alloy post-medieval strap-fitting, dating to the period 1500-1700. It is incomplete as one of the integral spiked lugs is mostly missing. Broadly pointed oval in shape, there are two circular knops, one on each point. It measures 33.17mm in length and 18.58mm at widest width, though tapers to 9.78mm at just before the circular knops begin. The thickness of the mount is 9.57mm at the bent integral spiked lugs, tapering to 6.41mm thick. The patina is light green and very shiny. It weighs 1.93g.

A copper-alloy strap fitting, dating to the period AD 1-1800. It is D-shaped, measuring 24.98mm in height and 25.68mm in width. The strap fitting is 2.45mm in thickness, except at the iron rivet where it measures 6.02mm in thickness. The flattish part of the frame has a pierced central rectangular element with traces of an iron rivet at its centre. To either side is an area of moulded transverse ridges, most clear to one side with four ridges, a recess between each. The other side is more worn with traces of two ridges. There is no further discernible decoration elsewhere on the str…

An incomplete early post-medieval copper-alloy strap fitting from a sword belt hanger, dating to the period 1500 to 1700. It consists of a incomplete hooked plate.The strap fitting is missing its hooked end and has broken across a rivet hole. Originally this would have been one of a trio of plates, which would have hung from a mount with three suspension loops. In turn, scabbard straps would have been attached to the plates. The plate is triangular in shape with a trefoliate terminal. It is decorated with an elaborate scrolling foliate pattern with fronds to either side from a cent…

A complete half of a cast copper alloy two-piece medieval swivel fitting, dating to c. 1100-1500. It measures 19.65mm in height and 21.57mm in max. width. This half of the swivel fitting is the 'female' half and has a D-shaped frame. The frame is 2.4mm thick. From the straight edge a circular plate (11.5mm in diameter x 2.4mm thick) extends at 90 degrees to the frame. This has a central circular perforation, with a diameter of 5mm. On swivel fittings such as these, zoomorphic mouldings are often seen either side of the circular perforation, but there is no evidence of such mouldings h…

A copper-alloy gilt openwork probable strap fitting, dating to c.1000-1200. Measuring 28.4mm in length, 17.7mm in width and 2.5mm in thickness, the strap fitting comprises two openwork sections. The first is a D-shaped plate on its back with a fleur de lys extending upwards and to either side, to touch the curving edges of the 'D'. The lis has grooved decoration, a curving line on each outer leaf and an oval shape at the centre of the upright. Below the straight edge are three knops with grooved decoration, perhaps a shorter, squashed fleur-de-lis. Beyond the curved edge is a further…

A complete copper-alloy strap-fitting possibly relating to a medieval sword-belt hook, dating to c.AD 1300- 1500. The broadly U-shaped object has a rectangular perforation, measuring 15.07mm in length and 6.93mm in width. There is a smaller, circular perforation beneath it, which measures 4.45mm in diameter. This then curves to an open circle 8.64mm in diameter, which tapers to 2.56mm, opening out again to 4.79mm until there is a lip, which is 4.03mm in diameter. On the outside of the loop, there appears to be decorative diagonal incised grooves from halfway down the circle to the …
