Description: | Incomplete and crumpled copper alloy folded sheet buckle plate of probable Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval date (AD 1400 - AD 1700). Length, if straightened, 48mm, width 15.5mm and 0.2mm thick. Weight 2.58g.The piece consists of one half only. About 3mm of the other missing part of the plate has survived at the fold. The plate has a relatively large pin-slot which is 6mm long and 4mm in width and minor frame recesses. The attachment end is concave. At each corner of the attachment end is a hole to accommodate a rivet. Both of the holes are about 2.5mm in diameter and both rivets are missing. There is a short fractur in the plate adjoining one of the hloes. The front face is crudely decorated with a pair of parallel punched lines along each long side. Both pairs of lines have been over-stamped with three equally spaced inward facing chevrons. The piece is in a fragile and poor condition and has a mid-green patina over most of the surface. There is also a black substance within the punched lines which may be the remains of lacquer.
