Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle plate. The plate is rectangular in plan and a ?U? shaped in profile. The plate is folded in half and in the centre of the fold, a slot has been removed to allow for the pin. At the opposite terminal to the fold there is a rivet hole in each corner of both plates. There are two copper alloy rivets holding the plates together. There is a fragment of leather between the two plates. The buckle plate is undecorated. The surface of the plate is abraded and has a mottled matte surface. It measures 26.37mm from terminal to terminal and 13.01mm wide. It weighs 1.9g.
The plate is probably of a Medieval date. Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate an undecorated buckle plate of a similar size and shape, No. 519 and date this to the latter half of the 14th century. More generally the buckle dates to the 13th to mid 15th 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: | 1200
