Description: | Romano-British/ Early Saxon propeller-shaped belt mount of sheet, both ends missing. Two rivet holes and central ring-and-dot. >30.5 x 16mm. More substantial, cast mounts in this form are considered to have functioned as belt stiffeners. This example is rather too flimsy to have acted thus, and is probably merely decorative. It is 4th century and like the stiffeners it is a military piece, which may have remained in use into the 5th century.
