Description: | Fragment of medieval copper alloy buckle plate with grooved decoration and a tiny amount of gilding and red enamel. It appears to be cut at one end transversely across the decoration, unless it is an extremely neat break, as one might expect. The other end has been cut in a V-shape with a pointed end. To either side the metal is slightly bent. It is missing its backplate.
It measures 42.7x14x1.3mm and weighs 4.32g. The decoration is within a boxed area, flanking the two long sides, and occupies just over half the buckleplate. It is a lozenge shape with six sides, in either pointed end a group of horizontal incised lines. Between but off centre are two C-punches creating an O shape. There are other shorter transverse lines in the corners of the boxed area.
The enamel has survived particularly well inside the grooves for the boxed area.
