The panel is oval and simply decorated with two central incised lines. The mount has a knop at the apex and was secured by two rivets and. The associated looped fitting (30.9x12.3x2.7mm) is still attached to the mount and comprises a loop above a collar. The panel has a single large iron rivet at the base.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy open work, hooked mount of Post Medieval date. The mount has a heart shaped frame with a pair of equally spaced circles, one of which is perforated, above a trapezoidal void beneath. Above the central part of the mount is a perforated projecting lobe, likely to fit a now absent rivet, while below the centre of the mount is a similar perforated lobe that continues and tapers into a rearwards facing hook. This lower perforation contains the corroded remains of an iron rivet. These mounts are often referred to a sword hangers, and are typical of the 16th a…

A copper alloy strap slide of post medieval date (c. 1650-1800). The object is roughly circular in plan, with a slightly convex front face, c.2mm thick. Two flattened-oval sectioned lugs project from opposite ends of the reverse face, each is covered by iron corrosion product, presumably from iron rivets or inserts to the lugs. Incised curved lines radiating from a central circle decorate the front face of the object. There is some suggestion of finer decoration between the radiating lines, but the loss of the original surface to corrosion obscures any further definition. The object i…

Incomplete, cast copper alloy rowel spur. The horizontally straight sides, D-shaped in section, taper from the neck of the spur towards the terminal. One arm is broken halfway along its length, the other is complete but has a damaged terminal. Enough of the terminal remains to suggest that it was originally formed by two rings, set like a figure-of-eight, equally above and below the front of the spur side. The neck is short, starts horizontal and then tapers towards the downward bent rowel box. The back of the spur is decorated with an elongated lozenge motif made up of cast lines. Cor…

Cast copper alloy rowel spur. The neck of the spur is oval in cross-section and starts horizontally straight but tapers towards its downwardly bent rowel box. The rowel box is damaged and the rowel is missing but ferrous corrosion visible in the rowel box suggests that the rowel pin was iron. The horizontally straight sides, of flattened D-section, taper from the neck of the spur towards the terminals which are both formed by two rings set like a figure-of-eight equally above and below the front of the spur side. Three of the four terminal rings contain looped and riveted, copper allo…

An incomplete copper alloy spur, dating to the Post Medieval period, likely to the 17th century. The spur is nearly complete, with the sides, terminals, and heel intact, with a moulded upturned neck ending in a break. There is no sign of a rowel box, but spurs of this period were exclusively rowel spurs, so this can be assumed to have been so. The spur is relatively small, although heavy distortion may have narrowed the width between the terminals. The terminals are of figure of eight form with moulded collars. The frame has a plano-convex section, with a flat inner and con…
