Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date. It is flat, rectangular in shape and folded over at the frame end to form an upper and lower plate. The lower plate is approximately one quarter of the length of the upper plate. The plates have rectangular frame recesses and a rectangular pin slot, with a single circular perforation, possibly for the pin, that pierces both upper and lower plates. At the open end are two circular rivet holes, one of which containes a cylindrical copper-alloy rivet with dome-shaped head and disc-shaped rove. The front face of the upper plate has an incised rocker-decoration border and traces of gilding that would probably originally have covered the entire front face of the object. It measures 34.93mm in length, 13.97mm in height, and weighs 3.36g.This buckle plate is Medieval and draws parallels to an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 304) that indicates a possible 13th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
