Belt Plate - Large Hexagonal Shield-shaped
I have not been able to exactly identify this heavy bronze plate.  

It was fastened with four rivets, three of which remain.  

The shape is similar to that of a 1st to 2nd century Germanic shield.

Miniature hexagonal shields, though made of thinner metal, have been found in Poland in early Przeworsk culture graves (1st century AD).  The early Przeworsk culture is associated with the Vandals.
