Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle plate of probable Medieval date. It is flat and rectangular in form, terminating in old breaks at the now missing frame end. The inner edge of the plate has moulded decoration comprising a rounded end with what appear to be projecting ears to either side, separated from the plate itself by small grooves. There are two small circular rivet holes at this end of the plate, one of which preserves part of the original iron rivet, that almost give the impression of eyes beneath the ears. At the frame end part of the rectangular pin slot is preserved, as well as a vertical groove that separates the plate from the frame and pin slot, but the remainder is missing due to old breaks. The back face is flat and undecorated. The entire object measures 26.50mm in width, 13.65mm in height, 1.79mm in thickness, and weighs 2.37g.
Although no close parallel has been identified for the decorative motifs of this buckle plate, the general appearance and decoration suggest a probable Medieval date for the object. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
