Description: | Hooked plate which would originally have been fixed to a scabbard strap and used to attach it to the sword belt. The plate is basically triangular, with a narrow indented base; it is convex in cross-section and there are two rivet holes (with iron corrosion) set longitudinally. Near to the apex is a transverse groove, and then the apex is extended and curved under to form an incomplete hook.
