Description: | Hooked plate from a sword-belt. The plate is basically triangular with a short incurved wider end; one of the corners of the wider end has broken off (old break). The long sides taper towards the apex which has a pair of lateral projections above a complete hook. The plate is slightly curved from side to side and has two iron rivets set longitudinally down the centre. This plate would probably have been fixed to the scabbard straps and hooked into a loop on the belt.
