Description: | Incomplete folded gilt sheet copper alloy buckle plate with five rivet holes, one in the centre and two at either end, within the decorative borders. One of the holes has been torn open in the past, at the opposite end to where the buckle would be fixed to the hinge. There is an incised linear border running along the edge of the plate. There is also a semi-circular area of gilding at the hinge end of the plate, and a pattern around the rivet holes, but the plate is too worn and corroded to make it out. The hinge is made of two parts, allowing a slot for the pin to attach to the central part of the buckle frame. This plate was probably attached to a spectacle buckle.Whitehead (1996) illustrates a similarly decorated example on page 58, No.339, which is dated to c.1350-1400.Egan (2002) illustrates similar examples on page 111, Fig.72, Nos.499, 503 & 508, which are dated from c.1200-1350.
