Description: | The object is either a strap end or a buckle plate, made of copper alloy. Only one heavily abraded plate remains. In plan it is sub-rectangular, but only a small fragment of the edge appears to be the original edge. There is a single off-centre rivet hole with a corroded dome-headed copper alloy rivet. The upper surface has a well developed shiny mid green patina, the reverse has a matte mottled surface, perhaps suggesting until recently the reverse was still attached to a leather strap, thereby not enabling a patina to develop. The plate measures 28.27mm long and 22.38mm wide. It weighs 1.8g. The object probably dates to the Medieval period, when undecorated strap ends and buckle plates were mainly in use.
