Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate from the medieval period. The plate is missing its frame and pin. The plate is in two parts, with a rivet securing an upper and lower sheet of metal. These sheets would once have been one, bent over and riveted to secure the plate to a strap. A portion of this leather strap is preserved between the riveted sections. The leather has probably been preserved by leaking salts from the copper-corrosion product. The buckle is cut with a slot to accomodate the missing pin. Other buckle plates from the Medieval period are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 111-114). This artefact dates from circa 1200 to 1400.
