Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle plate. The buckle and pin are missing. There are two open rivet holes in the corners at one end, one of which is broken. At the opposite end is a central notch which would have housed the pin. The edges of this end are broken. The plate has been inlaid with a blue enamel design which consists of two large crescent shapes which extend from the buckle end of the plate. Only small traces of enamel remain in these fields. Next to this, two opposing sub triangular shapes are flanked by two smaller triangles. The tips of these triangles extend down the sides of the plate and curve around the rivet holes. A far greater amount of enamel remains in situ in these fields. The plate has lost most of its original surface, and has a mid reddish brown patina. All the breaks are worn. It is medieval in date.
