Description: | Enammelled copper-alloy buckle plate, dating from the medieval period. The buckle is 34 mm long and 41 mm wide. It was originally attached to a buckle via a fold in the metal which produced a recess through which the buckle's plate bar would have been passed. This attachment is broken, and is presumably the reason the plate was lost. The buckle plate is decorated with a rasied central trefoil motif within a border formed by three rectangular recesses, 3 mm wide, and a fourth, 2 mm wide. The thinnest of these recesses is parallel to where the buckle's plate bar would have been and retains traces of gilding. The other recesses retain some blue, red and white enammel, as does the central motif. An attachment rivet is located at either side of the rear of the plate. The immedieate area around both rivets retains traces of gilding. The reverse of the buckle is undecorated. The buckle plate is similar to examples in Murawski (2003, page 460; fig M12-0307) and Mills (1999, page 14; figs 6-7) and probably dates to the 13th century. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
