Description: | A probable copper-alloy unusual sword belt fitting, 40mm in length and 17mm in width. The plate has two parallel U-shaped notches in either side and its front face is decorated with a foliage design, with a central stem with leaves branching off this. There are two iron rivets, one at either end, through the plate. At one terminal the plate tapers into a short neck which terminates in a circular disc 11mm in diameter. The front face of this disc is decorated with curvilinear lines radiating from a central pellet. This possible sword belt fitting is most likely to be late 15th or 16th century in date.
