Full Description
TR 262453. A medieval bronze belt hook found at Lydden. A medieval bronze belt hook was found in 1979 by Mr. T. Crump. The belt hook is decorated with a hairy savage apparently dressed in a sheep-skin (see illustration card). Apparently these figures enjoyed a vogue during the late fourteenth and fifteenth century. It is to this period that the Lydden belt-hook may be dated. There is no indicationas to its present whereabouts. (1)
