Description: | A bent, corroded and incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate, probably originally from a single-loop buckle. Although little remains, the nature of this piece suggests it may be one of the series of heraldic buckle plates produced in the 13th century AD - see G. Egan and F. Pritchard (1991; pp. 111, no.500) for similar examples from London, and S. Margeson (1985; pp. 204-5, no. 8) for parallels from Norwich. The piece consists of the right hand side of the rectangular plate. The central design is openwork and is framed by a curved ridge, which may represent a tail. At each of the two surviving corners is a small copper-alloy rivet. The plate's surface has traces of gilding.The object measures 22.75mm long 24.58mm wide and 5.1mm thick. The weight is 2g.
