Description: | A corroded and bent plate, probably from a single-loop buckle of mid 13th to 15th century AD date.
The piece consists of a rectangular plate, measuring 18.1mm high by 17.2mm wide. Two small tabs extend from the left hand vertical edge (as you look at it) and there is a central pin slot. At the centre of the plate is a small circular hole and there are four rivets - one on each corner - which connect the plate to a separate copper-alloy frame on the back. The back of the plate shows traces of gilding.
The piece measures 23mm wide by 4.9mm thick and weighs 4.18g. | 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: | 1250
