Description: | medieval copper alloy buckle plate, 26mm long, 18mm wide and 3mm thick. The buckle is in a good condition with a green patina (the finder has correctly not cleaned it, hence the mud). The object consists of a copper alloy plate which has been folded over to form two rectangles which would have been rivetted onto the belt, one rivet is visible on the front whilst two are visible on the reverse. The plate has three rectangular cut outs which create loops to allow room for the pin and pin bar which are both intact. The pin tapers and is 20mm long, it is attached to the pin bar by folding it round. the plate itself is decorated with a left facing lion or dog with its front legs raised and an upright S shaped tail. The backgroud, which is lower has been incised or punched to create a pattern. These buckle plates date to 1250-1450. | 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
