Description: | Gilt copper-alloy clothing fastener, possibly a sword belt hanger. Sub-rectangular loop attached to circular boss with lion's head motif in high relief. There is an integral circular attachment loop set at right angles to the boss. The outer edge of the loop and boss has engraved cable decoration. The upper surface of the boss has been gilded and much of it survives. Probably a naval fastener as similar examples were recovered from the wreck of HMS Innocence and are on display at Portsmouth Historic Ships Yard.
