Description: | A cast copper alloy late Roman buckle plate. A sub-triangular flat object with a decorative notch on each side at the wider end. This plate has broken off its integral buckle frame. There are no visible rivet holes to attach it to a belt strap. There is rust on both faces at the wider end which probably derives from a pin. The rust probably hides the hole for the pin. Length 34.35mm, width 29.72mm, thickness 2.45mm, weight 9.2g. No exact parallels can be found in the usual sources. The patina is mid green and much of the surface has eroded away or is pitted. One corner is missing. One edge is uneven and all edges are covered in light green corrosion product.
