A corroded cast copper-alloy hooked mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-trapezoidal in plan with an incurved (U-shaped) upper edge. It tapers towards the inward-turning hook, now slightly misaligned. The mount is shallowly convex. It features two, unaligned rivet holes, one towards the upper edge, the other just below the centre of the plate. These both retain the corroded remains of iron rivets. The copper alloy is covered in mid-/light-green corrosion product. Comparable hooked mounts can be found illustrated in Margeson (1993, 39; refs.: 257, 258) where they are dated t…

A complete cast copper-alloy 13th- or 14th-century medieval bar-mount with pendent loop. The upper surface of the bar mount is rectangular in plan and cross-section. It is looped round at the base, and narrows, terminating in a short, squared off stop which is joined to the front section of bar (and, originally, through the belt) by a single copper-alloy rivet which survives in situ. There is a separate rivet at the other end of the bar mount. The pendant sits within the loop at the bottom of the bar and is quadrilobate in form. The edge from which it hangs is flattened, narrowed an…

A complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval sword-belt fitting. It consists of a sub-rectangular plate, from one end of which protrudes a hook. The shortest edge (20.05mm) features the hook in its centre; the edge incurves slightly on both sides towards the hook, which curves round forwards in relation to the upper (decorated) surface of the plate. The hook itself extends for 23.3mm. It has an oval cross-section and is slightly thickened at its tip. The plate is flat and features moulded decoration on its upper surface. The two long sides incurve, flaring outwards at the top (W.: 21.45…

A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections (c. 3.5mm in length). It is sub-oval in shape; rectangular before expanding in an oval beyond the prongs. The artefact is flat on both upper and lower faces and is seemingly plain. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. A similar example can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 129; ref. 1313). Many such examples have been found in 13th-century contexts. This piece is dark grey patina with some patches of off-white corrosion product. The are file marks on the internal surface o…

A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a central integral external rivet. The frame is trapezoidal in shape with an expanded outer edge. The artefact is flat on both upper and lower faces and is seemingly plain. A similar example can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 232; ref. 1239). Many such trapezoidal examples have been found in 14th-century contexts. This piece is dark grey in colour with traces of off-white corrosion product.
