Social Sciences - Archaeology / Roman Empire swords
German term or phrase: Treibdekor
This is some kind of decoration on the scabbard of a sword, but I am not finding anything meaningful about it!

Bereits in frühtiberischer Zeit wurden die römischen Opus interrasile-Bleche jedoch offenbar weitgehend entsorgt. An ihre Stelle traten nun in größerem Umfang Zierbleche mit **Treibdekor,** die zuvor nur selten genutzt wurden.

Any help will be appreciated!

Little more than an inspired guess based on what I found here:

Not sure if this is right but perhaps a start, could the decoration be made using this method?
