Description: | One plate from a composite buckle. Rectangular, it is 37 mm long and tapers very slightly from 20 mm wide at the attachment edge to 19 mm wide at the edge which would have been next to the frame. The attachment edge is incurved (not very evenly) and has a 'grooved aperture' in the centre. The underside of the plate is covered with an even grey coating, probably solder. There are four empty holes in the plate. The two at the frame end have both apparently been pushed through from the underside. They are both roughly triangular, with the apexes pointing towards the attachment end. The two holes at the attachment end have both apparently been pushed through from the upper side. Again both roughly triangular, one has the apex towards the frame end and the other has the apex towards the attachment end. The latter has a small surviving copper-alloy rivet in a neat circular hole just next to it. This arrangement of rivets and holes is enigmatic and may be connected to re-use of the plate as a mount.
