Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle plate of probable early post-medieval date. The incomplete plate measures 32mm by 17.1mm by 1.5mm and weighs 4.17g. It is broadly rectangular with the long edges curvilinear and two concave recesses along one of the shorter ends. At the other end there are two incomplete backwards curving suspension loops. The main part of the fitting is perforated by two rivet holes, one of which is filled with corroded iron. The front of the fitting is decorated with cast foliate and floriate decoration. The form and decoration suggests the buckle may have been part of a sword belt set. A similar example which retains the buckle's frame from has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database (CORN-316292). This example is from St Hilary, Cornwall. | 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: | 1500
