Description: | A narrow rectangular buckle plate, wrought in copper alloy. There are two rivet holes, with one surviving rivet: this has a washer on the reverse face. The end with a rivet has the remaining two loops of the hinge with the buckle frame and bar. This hinge has been made by folding the plate over on itself; fragments of the iron buckle bar survive in the hinge. This artefact is crudely made, but is nonetheless gilded on the obverse. The rivet shows that there was no back plate for this buckle. The copper alloy has a reddish-brown colour, with green patches. The gilding covers only about 5% of the obverse face. This artefact dates to the medieval period. | 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: | 1100
