Description
English: Complete cast copper alloy S-shaped belt hook fitting of sixteenth or seventeenth century date (AD 1500 - AD 1700). Length 36mm, width 16mm and 3.8mm thick. Weight 7.49g.

The identical terminals are in the form of a swan’s head. The central part of the fitting, the shared gorged neck of the two heads, has moulded decoration. The decoration is in the form of collar enclosing a sheath containing foliage. The maximum width of the neck of the swan is 6mm and it tapers towards each head which is 4mm in width. One end of the fitting has a free running copper alloy suspension ring which has an outer diameter of 10.5mm and an internal diameter of 6.5mm. The ring is circular in cross-section, 2m in diameter. The metal is a reddish colour and appears to be in a stable condition.
