Not a type I am familiar with. And the gilding (?) is odd.
Perhaps a local or Germanic type?

Hey Otlichnik,
Thank you for your input. The gilding is throwing me off a little too. It was
part of a lot with this other what i'm almost sure of is a
roman belt mount from 2-3rd century AD (also partially gilded I think), if that's the case that they both are gilded they must have been
part of the same belt? The closest I've come at finding something similar is the cruciform baldric mount, this might be an adoptation or a
provincial variant. I'm not sure how common gilding was but if you can tell me more about that other mount i'd appreciate it alot. You seem to have great knowledge on these topics and i'm always looking to learn more. Also do you happen to know a great source/book to learn more about
roman belt mounts as i'm looking to start a
collection.
Greetings Kilian
