Description: | Copper-alloy buckle plate. The rest of the buckle is missing. The plate is constructed from a sheet of copper-alloy and is rectangular with two attachment loops, one of which is broken. The plate has five rivet holes - one in each corner and one in the centre. The plate is decorated with two lines of small raised dots forming a border. Traces of gilding survive on the obverse. The reverse is plain. A fragment of a similar buckle plate is described in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 114; figure 532). They date the example to 1270 to 1350. It is likely that this example is of a similar date and it is certainly medieval. | 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: | 1270
