Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle plate. This object would originally have been formed from a folded plate of metal, which had a recessed slot for the pin. The surviving half of the plate is rectangular in plan and flat in section. It is decorated with a raised moulding of an unrecognisable design. There is a hole at each terminal corner, one of which retains the remains of a copper alloy rivet. At the opposite end, where the plate would have folded around the buckle frame, a subrectangular notch is placed at the centre of the edge, which is evidence for the recessed pin slot. The original surface survives with a mid green patina, exposed, abraded surfaces are lighter green, A tiny patch of gilt survives around one of the rivet holes. The reverse of the plate is plain. The plate is 26.74mm long, 15.5mm wide and 1.84mm thick. The object weighs 4.0g. Similar buckle plates can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, London: HMSO. This buckle plate probably dates from the 13th or 14th centuries. | 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
