Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval copper alloy buckle plate for an iron buckle. The plate is bent over the remains of the strap bar and there are the rusted remains of an iron pin in the pin slot. The back of the plate is a rectangle with a off-centre square rivet hole near the end. The front has straight sides and an end which has been cut into a rough curve. There are the rusted remains of a central iron rivet near the end. It is 32.6mm long, 19.4mm wide (excluding the rusted remains of the strap bar) and 8.7mm thick, it weighs 11.90 grams.Such simple plates are hard to date with any accuracy and this example could date from c.1200-1900 AD. It was clearly used on a large iron buckle attached to a thick strap, possibly from harness.
