Description: | Medieval copper alloy rectangular buckle plate. The plate is recessed for the buckle frame, which is missing. There are two parallel rivet holes in the corners furthest from the buckle frame to attach the plate to a leather belt. One of the rivet holes still containa an iron rivet. The other rivet hole has traces of gilding around the edge. The surface of the plate is decorated in a relief zoomorphic design, however the exact characteristics of the animal are unclear. The plate is worn and corroded, and has a light green patina with patches of red-brown showing through. The plate measures 37mm by 17mm.
