Description: | A copper alloy pyramidal sword-belt or scabbard fitting dating to the early 7th century AD. The mount is trapezoidal in section and hollow. A transverse bar runs across the underside for attachment to a strap. The flattened apex possesses a rectangular cell lined with gold stamped foil underneath a garnet. The fitting is similar to examples from Barham and Coddenham, Suffolk (West (1998) fig.5, no.48 and fig.21, no.22).
