Description: | Copper alloy sub-rectangular buckle plate. The plate has frame recesses and has a pin slot. Both hinge loops are broken where they fold over. The upper plate tapers gently from the hinge end and is broken off at the attachment end (L. 31.3mm. W. 12.03-10.4mm. Th. 0.95mm). The lower plate is much narrower and shorter than the upper plate with irregular sides, and is broken off at approximately half the length of the upper plate (L. 20mm. W. 8.8mm. Th. 0.8mm). There are three clear rivet holes in both plates. Two are arranged laterally close to the hinge end, each retaining the copper alloy rivets, the rounded ends of which project from the upper plate. The third is located in the centre of the upper plate and is visible in the centre of the break of the lower plate. The remains of two further rivet holes are visible in the break of the upper plate, arranged laterally at the attachment end. A further rivet survives, now separated from the plate, probably from the central rivet hole. Some gilding survives on the surface of the upper plate. | 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: | 1300
