Description: | Plate from a sword-belt fitting, basically triangular but with two dissimilar trefoil terminals. It is decorated with symmetrical relief foliage decoration and there are two iron rivets, one at each end. At the narrower end is a broken projection which was probably originally a hook. This plate would have been fixed onto the scabbard and the hook would have been attached to a loop on a similar plate fixed to the belt. It is now rather bent.
