Description: | Incomplete copper alloy medieval buckle plate. This object is formed from two plates, rectangular in plan and flat in section. Both plates are damaged. The front plate has three surviving rivet holes, two at one end and one to the centre. One of the end rivet holes and the central hole still hold their copper alloy rivets. These join with the back plate, which is almost equal in length, but narrower. The empty rivet hole corresponds with an empty hole on the back plate. The object is very abraded and none of the original surface survives. Tiny traces of gilt can be seen on the front plate. The object is now light green in colour. The front plate has a surviving length of 22mm, is 18.2mm wide and 0.72mm thick. The back plate has a surviving length of 20.46mm, is 11.04mm wide and 0.7mm thick. The object weighs 3.2g. A similar buckle plate can be see in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, London: HMSO, figure 72, number 505. Following that example, this buckle plate probably dates to the 13th or 14th century. | 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
