Incomplete post Medieval cast copper alloy sword belt fitting. The fitting consists of an irregular-shaped plate decorated with an incised curvilinear floriate design. The plate had two circular rivets at the top and bottom, one of the holes for these rivets survives intact but the other is incomplete as it is the point of a break. The fitting is broken at both the top and bottom.
Compare with DENO-11C9C1 a complete example of this type of fitting.
Fittings of this type are typically dated c.1550-1650.
