This group of fittings – comprising over 100 pieces, most likely represents fittings from more than one belt. However, seven T-shaped pieces with a central boss, 35 of elongated hexagonal shape, nine terminals (similar in shape to the hexagons but with one end truncated) and a buckle – appear to be from a single set. The fittings are decorated in high relief with some chasing, primarily with palmettes and symmetrical scrolls, each scroll terminating in a pronounced dot, and have slightly foliated edges. Many still have their back-plates, secured by rivets, and some retain fragments of leather or fabric sandwiched between the front and back plates.
