Description: | Medieval or early post medieval silver buckle fragment. Treasure case: 2007 T470
Extract from treasure report:
A fragment probably from a silver medieval to early post-medieval buckle, 13th ?? 16th Century in date.
The fragment is formed from a rectangular plate, which has had two of its corners cut off on one side. On the other side, there are extensions off from the plate. One survives for only a short distance and is itself broken. The other extension at the other end of the plate has broken off level with the plate. On the reverse of the first extension, there is a projecting lug ?? which has been bent; this would have presumably been used from attached.
The fragment was probably once part of a square buckle. The pin and any evidence of a strap bar, does not survive.
Dimensions: 0.61 grams. Length: 16.4mm, Width: 7.6mm, Thickness of plate: 0.9mm
Discussion: This silver buckle fragment is probably medieval in date and consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
