Description: | Incomplete Medieval belt fitting, very corroded, probably a sword hanger (or possibly used on harness), large rectangular loop, designed to accommodate a strap or belt, with a larger open loop projecting from base to almost complete a circle and touch the front of the vertical loop, whereupon it projects vertically upwards and has an integrally-cast shield on the upper face and a transverse rib at the change of angle with a vertical upright with inward-facing animal-head terminal. Cf. examples from Quidenham (HER 34977) and Cawston (HER 19522).
