Description: | An incomplete medieval folded sheet copper-alloy buckle plate, only the front half now survives, the rest is missing due to an old break. It is rectangular in shape and measures 28.90mm in length and 22.59mm in width. The plate is recessed to accomodate the missing frame and has a rectangular pin slot. There is a rivet hole through either corner of the attachment end and corroded iron surrounds one rivet hole indicating that the rivets were probably iron originally.The front face is decorated with a border ridge and within this there are two probably lions or dogs viewed in side profile facing each other. Each animal has a fore limb raised so that they are touching, both have long tails which curl upwards and over the back in an S-shape, the heads have rounded snouts and the mouths appear to be open. Beneath and between the animals there is a fleur de lis. The field behind them is recessed and covered in rows of tiny circular indentations. Both faces are gilt.
