Description: | Incomplete copper alloy gilt medieval buckle plate, missing its underside. It is slightly bent.
The buckle plate measures 31.2mm in length and is max.14mm wide where it extends below the arms that would have curled around the buckle's axis bar (the curl does not survive), narrowing to 13.5mm at the opposite end. It is 0.7mm thick and weighs 1.93g.
There are three intact rivet holes surviving, c.2mm in diameter. Two are below the projecting arms and one is at the centre of the buckleplate. The opposite edge has broken across two more rivet holes.
Most of the original patina is missing but gilding survives, particularly around the rivet holes.
Similar buckle plates with the same arrangement and number of rivet holes from London (Egan 1991) date to the late 13th/ 14th century. | 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: | 1270
