Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate. One half of the folded sheet plate survives, the other half is missing due to an old break along the fold, it is rectangular in shape, 33mm by 30mm in size and 2mm thick. The plate is recessed for the frame and has a slot for the pin, it has two parallel rivet holes in the two corners furthest from the frame. The front face of this plate has been decorated, by paring away the metal, with what appears to be foilage of some kind, with a main stem and five petals or leaves. The rough surface of the areas made lower may have been for keying enamel although none survives, traces of gilding are also visible. A similar buckle plate was discovered in London, although it was decorated with a two-legged beast, and has been dated to the 13th century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, p 113-114, Fig, 73, No, 530).
