Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle plate. The buckle and pin are missing and only the plate survives. The plate is formed from a folded sheet of copper alloy. The plates are roughly circular, with a large notch cut into them on the bend, which would have allowed the pin to sit there. The front face is decorated with incised lines and small circles forming a design which, due to corrosion and damage is difficult to make out - it appears to be geometric. The reverse is undecorated. There are two rivets joining the plates together adjacent to the bend for holding the buckle frame. These rivets would have originally held the strap in place. At the opposite end of the plate there is a damaged hole, which was probably once a rivet hole. The reverse plate is slightly more damaged than the front one. On either side of the bend, for the strap bar, there is an integrally cast loop, both are broken. The metal is mid greenish-grey in colour. It is medieval in date.
