Description: | The front of a sheet copper alloy plate from a medieval buckle. The plate is almost square, measuring 28.51 by 26.18mm by 0.57mm thick, and it has been broken at the end which would have wrapped around the buckle hoop. The back of the plate is missing. There are three perforations for the rivets which would have held a leather belt in place. Two are close to the corners of the end furthest from the buckle and one is in the centre at the end closest to the buckle. The front of the plate is decorated with short engraved parallel lines. This is in the form of a square around an 'X'. The plate is fairly similar to no. 313 in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' (1991, pp. 76-7) in terms of construction and design, although the London example is about twice as long. The London example dates from the late 12th to late 14th century.
