Description: | A gilt copper-alloy plate from a single-loop buckle of probable late 12th to late 14th century AD date (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 76).
The upper plate is sub-rectangular in plan, narrowing slightly mid way along its length. It is joined to the slightly smaller integral back plate by four domed copper-alloy rivets - one at each corner and one at the centre. The upper plate has an indented ropework border around its perimeter and both sides of the object are heavily gilt. At the left hand end, where the plate is folded back on itself, there is a loop into which the now-missing frame would have fitted. A horizontal pin slot is located at the centre of the frame end.
The object measures 31.6mm long, 9mm high and 4.6mm thick. The weight is 2.98g. | 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: | 1175
