Description: | Medieval copper alloy gilt buckle plate for a single loop buckle frame, measuring 31.5x37.8x1mm and weighing 8.5g.
The plate is rectangular in shape with a crenellated 'open' end (long edge). Two arms extend at the opposite edge, turn back wards and meet in a triangular point with a 2.3mm diameter rivet hole. This corresponds with a hole at the centre of the front plate, 2.2mm in diameter.
The plate is decorated with a double-grooved line in the form of two Xs within a double-grooved border flanking the edges. There is a rivet hole at the two corners of the 'open' crenellated end.
The metal has lost its original patina, so much so that the grooved line decoration is now higher than the level of the rest of the plate. Gileding survives along some of these lines and in the central rivet hole. The crenellated edge has two and a half semi-circles cut into it.
