This object 20mm long, 10mm wide at the centre and 5mm thick overall, is a small gilt bronze fitting from a belt. Made of pressed sheet metal, it is domed in the centre, and the crest of the dome is cut away, making a hole. At either side are two smaller domed extensions each containing a very small iron pin for fastening the object to its receiving surface. As the object has been pressed out, the back is hollow. Solid cast examples similar to this shape are illustrated by Egan and Pritchard, Fig. 134.
