Description: | Front part of an almost square medieval gilded copper-alloy buckle plate, broken at the hinge, with pin slot, frame recesses and two rivet holes near the attachment edge. The front is taken up with a large foliar motif consisting of three gilded palmettes, and picked out with engraved and moulded (or perhaps scraped away) surface detail, the composition to be viewed with the buckle frame downwards. The motif is reserved on a field of dark blue enamel with white spots, all set within a narrow reserved frame. Most of the enamel near the attachment edge is missing. 27mm (without fold) x 26mm. Manufactured in Limoges, France, in the late 12th or early 13th century.
