Description: | A narrow rectangular buckle plate, wrought in copper alloy. The buckle plate survives in one piece. The buckle plate comprised one single plate of copper alloy, which has two loops at one terminal, which form the slot for the pin. These loops have been cast as one piece with the plate; the copper alloy plate has then been folded over and soldered to the reverse of the large rectangular plate. Just below this joint there is a rivet hole, which is empty. Two other rivet holes, with in situ rivets are located at the other terminal of the rectangular buckle plate. Neither the buckle nor the pin survives and the holes in the two loops (for the buckle itself) have corroded. The edges of the plate are heavily damaged and the plate has been heavily corroded, resulting in the loss of original surface. The metal is a mid greenish-brown, with some surviving traces of gilding. This type of buckle plate dates from the late 12th century to the late 14th century. Similar buckles can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp74-5, Fig 45, No. 304-5.
