Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and corroded post-Medieval copper-alloy component from a hooked sword belt fitting or hanger (c. 1500-c. 1700).
The tip of the hook is missing.
The fitting is an inverted shield-shaped plate in plan and has a forward projecting hook. The plate is moulded at the front and flat at the rear. The hook is sub-oval in cross-section.
The front face has a moulded foliate decoration that is mainly unclear due to corrosion. There are the remains of three iron rivets in the plate, two in the corners of the hook end and one which is centrally placed at the opposite en…

A complete half of a Medieval or post-Medieval copper-alloy two-piece swivel fitting (c. 1200-c. 1700).
This is the female half of the fitting.
The male component may have been a frame of similar shape or possibly a hook for suspension (see YORYM-910FAE). The frame is circular in plan and circular in cross-section except for the bezel-like terminal which is flat at the top and slightly concave on the underside. The terminal is perforated to accommodate the other component and the perforation has a diameter of 4.5mm. On swivel fittings such as these, zoomorphic mouldings are…

A complete and corroded half of a Medieval copper-alloy two-piece swivel fitting (c. 1100-c. 1500).
This half is the 'female' component of the swivel fitting. The frame is very worn and is irregular in cross-section. The shoulders appear to be plain but prior to corrosion they may have been zoomorphic. The pierced terminal that accommodated the male component has a circular hole, c. 2.4mm in diameter. The hole has parallel sides and would have accommodated the missing 'male' section.
The surface is drab green.
Length: 19.3mm; with: 17.0mm; thickness at terminal: 6.0mm. …

An incomplete post-Medieval copper-alloy hooked strap fitting, probably relating to a sword-belt (c. 1600-c. 1700).
This strap fitting would have had a separate piece of sheet copper-alloy attached to the rear. It consists of an oval plate with a knop at one end. The knop is pierced and accommodates a separate iron rivet, the remains of which are present. At the opposite end there is a break where there was an integral hook. Just above the break there are also the remains of a separate iron rivet.
The front is inscribed with an octofoil (8-petalled flower head) surrounded by a b…

Two post-Medieval copper-alloy sword-belt mounts (c. 1500-c. 1700).
The flat plate of the mount has a tri-lobed end with a narrowed waist underneath. This waist then expands forming rounded shoulders before tapering in width to a second waist that expands out on each side with rounded knops creating a transverse oval shape. Below the oval starts the circular sectioned hook which extends downwards before curving towards the front of the plate and ends in a rounded knop. An incomplete copper-alloy fitting similar to the hook mentioned above hangs from the hook of the plate. The front…

A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy strap fitting (c.1600-c.1700).
This looped object is probably from a sword-belt.
The fitting is sub-trapezoidal in plan with a double cusped edge at one end. It tapers in width from 27.7mm to 17.6mm before narrowing abruptly to 8.5mm where it meets the loop. At the front, there is a central longitudinal groove which tapers in width from the cusped end towards the looped end. A sub-circular hole either side of the groove is probably for rivets. The hole of the loop is elongated, probably due to wear. The reverse is flat and plain.

A post-Medieval copper-alloy 'S'-shaped 'snake belt' fastener (c. 1550-c.1625).
The fastener is decorated on both faces with animal head terminals and with moulded scale-like decoration. At the centre there is a four-knopped moulded collar.
The object has a coarse drab greenish grey surface.
S-shaped 'snake belt' fasteners were probably associated with sword belts in the 17th and 18th centuries and parallels can be seen in Read's (2008) Hooked-clasps & Eyes: p. 230. However, this example is similar to no. 822 which is dated, perhaps, to c. mid-16th-c. early 17th century. The …

A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy toggle clasp (eye-section) of Read Type 1, from a sword-belt (c. 1600-c. 1700).
This part is the eye-piece through which the toggle on the corresponding section would have fitted. The eye is connected to an integral body with an openwork circle at the centre, trifoliate and bifurcate outer edges and a rivet hole at each end which both contain the remains of iron rivets. The body is delineated from the eye by a raised bar. There is also a raised arched bar at the other end of the eye. Also attached to one side of the eye is a suspension loop.
