Description: | Elaborate copper alloy hooked slide, possibly from a sword belt, which comprises a cast D-sectioned loop at base ending in two vertical bars. The upper end of one bar has a rectangular loop for a belt. There is a integrally cast shield on the outer face of the loop and the face of the bar above has a vertical arris running over and between prominent transverse ribs and ends in a right-angled projection in the form of a stylised animal-head. Cf. Read (2008), nos.771-3 and an example from Runcton Holme (Norfolk HER 31159). 13th-15th century.
