Medieval finds - bronze and enamel sword belt holder?
Hi! Found these detecting today in a place full with medieval history. A quick search on google and I believe the second item is a medieval sword hanger which would attach to the belt. Has anyone found or seen any similar? It’s a stunning piece and can’t quite believe I’ve found it. Definitely looks gilded and is bronze with a decorative enamel design.
And then the other 2 items I found nearby. Stumped on what they could be. Perhaps a decorative piece that would hang on a horse? They are very light. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Your bar mount is very unusual, I found one recently and researching it was quite difficult due to the lack of them. Well found
If it is difficult you are doing it wrong

Thanks all.
This was the only one I could find online that was very similar. Love that it might be heraldic!

By a hanger I'm assuming you would hang keys, purse or a dagger or something simillar on it.
