Description: | Complete copper alloy medieval buckle plate. This object is formed from a rectangular sheet of copper alloy folded in two. The plate is recessed for the pin bar and has a rectangular slot for the pin. The front plate has two surviving rivet holes complete with copper alloy rivets. These join with the back plate, which is narrower and shorter than the front. Both the rear and front of the plate is plain. The original surface survives with a mid green patina. Small patches of exposed surfaces are lighter green. The front plate has a length of 16.06mm, is 13.98mm wide and 0.82mm thick. The back plate has a length of 12mm, is 12.04mm wide and 0.98mm thick. The object weighs 1.72g. Similar buckle plates can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, London: HMSO, figure 72. Following these examples, 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
