Description: | A buckle plate of folded sheet copper-alloy, from which the frame and pin have been lost, probably by corrosion, since the plate remains fastened by rivets. The front face of the plate is 16mm wide and 25mm long, with two small rivets in place towards the trailing edge to fasten this sheet to the opposite end where it is folded beneath. At the fold the sheet is neatly rounded, indicating a round pin-bar, and there is a large perforation 4mm in diameter behind this fold, through both upper and lower leaves of the sheet, to admit the pin. The under-part of the sheet is 21mm long, falling short of the full length at the trailing edge, and is but 13mm wide along the full length. This narrowing of the strip occurs on the upper face shortly before the fold, and takes the form of a stepped recess, probably to admit the buckle frame. The metal is 0.5mm thick, but the space bridged by the rivets between the upper and lower part of the leaf is c.2mm
