Belt hooks from Ensérune 1

La Tène belt hook found at Ensérune
The few dating elements found place these hooks in the 4th/3rd century BC

Extract from the attached PDF:
"The morphology of the Ensérune belt hooks is similar to that of examples from other regions; only significant differences are to be noted in dimensions and in the shape of the solid and open areas (forming the decorative motifs). The constituent parts are the same: hook, body of the hook, base and attachment tab12. The Ensérune belt hooks are markedly more massive than those from Champagne. The attachment system differs only in the channel that grips the end of the leather or fabric strap on three sides. One may suppose, moreover, that as the hooks were more massive and wider, the strap must have been too, possibly requiring a stronger attachment system."
