The mount has three rivets and a hook to attach to the loop of the broken belt bar which is also decorated with vine a foliage pattern of five sprigs and has one rivet remaining. The mount has iron corrosion products around its central rivet where it would have been attached to the slings that supported the sword scabbard.
