Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle plate. This object represents one side of what would have been a folded sheet plate attached to a buckle frame. It is square in plan with two recessed rectangular protrusions, that when complete and attached to the other side of the plate would have been the sides to the pin slot. The plate is decorated with a crudely incised square border that is cut diagonally across two corners. Within this border are more crudely incised lines that do not appear to form a coherant design. There are two surviving copper alloy rivets, one at each corner of the outer edge (ie opposite the pin bar slot), which are placed outside of the diagonally cut corners of the border. The rivet shafts survive to the reverse of the plate. The reverse of the plate is plain. The plate has an even mid green patina. The breaks are worn smooth and similarly patinated suggesting that damage occurred in antiquity. It is 28.34mm long, 24.3mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 4.77g. | 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
