Description: | Cast copper-alloy object, perhaps a belt fitting. Rectangular, slightly convex element with one rounded end and trefoil motif extending from other end. There is an uneven linear incised border down the two long sides. The rounded end is thicker and there is a three-dimensional extension consisting of a rectangular-sectioned shaft with a long oval, D-sectioned element on top. There are three transverse grooves on either side of the oval element. There is a copper-alloy rivet through the trefoil end and at the base of the 3D element. Even, dark green patina. From above, the fitting looks almost bird-like. Length 46mm, width 13.5mm, height 11mm, thickness 1.5mm.Compare YORYM-A30948, SF3663, NMS-7E9C17 and perhaps SF-1EADD4.
