Description: | A late Medieval-early Post-Medieval copper alloy buckle (AD1400-1650). The frame is sub-rectangular with rounded corners and has a D-shaped cross-section. There is a break on one side of the frame. The plate is very ornate. It is made from a shaped copper alloy sheet where a small triangular section has been folded over and riveted to the reverse. There is a small fragment of mineralised leather still attached around the rivet. A notch has been cut out of the sheet for the pin attachments. The pin is no longer present. The remaining section of the sheet has had two curved decorative notches cut out to form two curving arms before the plate terminates with a projection that was an expanded, rounded terminal. The outer surface of the plate has been decorated with punched dots arranged to form circles and incised lines forming diagonal crosses. Traces of gilding remain on the buckle frame and plate. In addition to the rivet securing the two halves of the plate together, there is a second rivet in between the two decorative ??arms??. Patchy, pale green patina.
