Description: | A copper-alloy buckle plate. The plate is somewhat crudely manufactured and missing the buckle frame and pin. The plate is comprised of a strip of metal, folded in two, with the fold forming the gap for the frame recess. The plate is 26 mm long when folded, and would measure around 46 mm long when straightened out. The plate is punched through with five holes on the top, longer part of the fold and three on the bottom, shorter fold of the metal. The punched hole closest to the fold was evidently used for the pin. The plate is 18 mm wide.
The buckle plate is medieval in date and probably dates from around 1250-1450. It is similar to an example illustrated in Egan (1991 page 77, fig 317). | 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: | 1250
