An incomplete Post-Medieval copper-alloy strap mount with suspension loops. The strap fitting is probably from a sword belt and dates to the 16thcentury. The strap mount is a flat piece of copper alloy, broadly rectangular in plan with two complete suspension loops on the lower edge. The loops project downwards at 90 degrees from the bottom edge of the mount and have circular perforations. A complete example is illustrated in Read (2001) and depicts the now missing hooked plates which would have hung from the suspension loops; in turn, the scabbard straps would have been attached…
