Description: | Complete sword-belt mount, made of copper alloy and very roughly a long triangle in shape. The narrow 'base' of the triangle has relief decoration to resemble a twisted cable. Below this on either side is a small V-shaped cut-out, with a rivet hole in between. Then comes a large semi-circular cut-out on either side. Below this is a large central circular hole, perhaps for the hook of a similar fitting on the scabbard; this has two V-shaped cut-outs in the edge on either side. Below, each edge has another large semi-circular cut-out, and then a long narrow terminal with a transverse groove above a hemispherical knop. Length 31 mm, maximum width 15 mm.
