Description: | A fragment from a broken copper-alloy buckle plate of medieval date. The fragment is sub-rectangular in shape, worn and bent. Its thinness shows that it came from a buckle plate of folded sheet construction. It is decorated unifacially with a stamped border creating small squares in low relief. Just inside this border at the (complete) attachment end is a pair of circular rivet perforations. At the broken end is half of a further hole, centrally placed. Whilst this latter could have been a pin hole it is more likely to have been a central rivet hole; the plate breaking at this weak point. A later 14th-century date is suggested for this object, although a date slightly earlier or later ought not to be ruled out. | 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
