Description: | Treasure Case 2009 T95.
Description:
A silver buckle plate from a post medieval shoe buckle. The plate is broken into two pieces but is 20.81mm long, 9.81mm wide and 4.23mm thick at the rivet. The plate is sub-rectangular and is made of a single sheet of silver folded in half to form a hinge at one end. The opposite end is rounded and there is an integral silver rivet here to hold the plate to the strap. There is iron corrosion round the slot in the hinge where a ferrous pin has rusted away. There is a maker??s mark on the reverse which unfortunately is not clear. It may read A/R or A/XX or A/-K with the two lines of writing divided by a horizontal line.
Discussion:
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. The plate is very similar to 2006 T17 and 2005 T528, both dated to the seventeenth century (TAR 2005/6, pages 137 ?? 138, figs 603 and 604).
Dimensions: Weight: 1.94 grams
Size: 20.81mm (length), 9.81mm (width) and 4.23mm (thickness)
