Description: | Copper alloy propeller-shaped military belt stiffener, corroded and slightly bent, sub-triangular at both ends and rounded in the centre which is chamfered, has an engraved rocker-arm saltire and is separated from the 'blades' by two transverse ribs. The sides of both blades are chamfered with stops at the terminals, both pierced by a single rivet-hole, engraved rocker arm runs along both longitudinal flat central sections and bifurcates obliquely to flank the terminal perforations. Length 49mm. Width 16mm. 4th century (Clarke 1979, 285), but such objects occur in Early Anglo-Saxon contexts (Macgregor and Bolick 1993, 210 and 212, cat. nos. 36.8 and 9).
