Description: | A slightly damaged copper-alloy buckle plate of medieval date. The plate is rectangular form, but is quite short and may possibly have been cut down from a longer plate. The plate is of folded sheet construction. It has a wide central pin slot (W.: 6.6mm), but is unusually not recessed for the frame. The two folds have been pressed together and are connected at the end of the extant artefact by a large central rivet and rove, with a circular head. Where is survives the sheets have a dark-green patina, overlain by yellow/brown corrosion product; elsewhere the metal is a corroded mid green. The rivet has an underlying dark red-brown colour. There are some abrasions at one corner of one sheet at the attachment end and also at one of the folds at the frame end where there is also a transverse fracture.
