Description: | A late medieval or post medieval sword belt fitting. The fitting comprises a plate with a lys terminal and cast foliate decoration. The plate originally had three pendent loops, two of which survive. Within the remaining two loops are the broken hooks of two separate similarly-decorated fittings onto which the sword belt was attached. There are two surviving rivet holes with iron corrosion within the plate for securing it to a strap or belt.
