Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate. The plate is sub rectangular with a curved terminal. It has one rivet hole (rivet missing). The frame recess is created by a fold in the end of the metal. A portion of the thin frame remains in this recess. A pin slot is formed by a cut in the folded part of the plate. The object is undecorated and slightly bent. It dates to the medieval period and is similar to some examples given in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 110-113; figs 499-430). Such buckle plates can be difficult to date precisely without an archaeological context, but it is likely to date from between 1230 and 1450. | 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: | 1230
