Title
sword belt mount
Description
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy hooked sword belt mount with tapering foliate decoration from above the hook, from the bifid projection with one iron rivet still intact, to the trefoil terminal also with an intact iron rivet. The iron rivets have corroded so that there are patches of iron oxide covering parts of the decorated upper surface as well as the back of the mount. This mount, along with two other hooked mounts, would have hooked through another mount with three integral suspension loops, thereby attaching the sword belt to the sword scabbard. This piece was riveted on to a leather strap or sling that suspended the scabbard. The hook ends in a bulbous spherical terminal, which would have held it within the loop.

Read (2001) illustrates a similar hooked mount along with the associated parts of the belt hanger on page 43, Fig.26, No.373, which is dated to the 16th century.
