Description: | Cast copper alloy buckle and plate of 15th Century date. The single loop oval buckle has a recessed bar to accommodate the attached plate. The pin is attached, and the buckle frame has a triangular notched lip for it to rest in. The plate is sub-rectangular with a trefoil projection at the end opposite the hinge. There are two large copper alloy rivets attached to the plate, one positioned behind the pin recess and the other is in the trefoil projection. The front of the plate has incised decoration and there are traces of gilt on the surface. The reverse of the plate has a triangular section folded over from the hinge, with the point ending with the rivet on the main body of the plate. The plate has damaged edges, with a worn break in top right corner (as you look at image 1) and the trefoil has two damaged lugs. The buckle and plate have a pale green-brown patina with some traces of red showing through, especially in the recesses. The complete length of the buckle and plate is 51.08mm, it is 26.2mm at the widest point, 3.94mm thick and it weighs 6.52 grams. The plate is similar in shape to Whitehead (1996) image number 64. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
