Description: | An incomplete and very worn sheet copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date. It is flat, rectangular in form and terminates at the open end in old breaks. The plate has rectangular frame recesses and pin slot, with curved lobes at the frame end that terminate in old breaks and may originally have extended to a now missing back plate. The front face of the surviving plate has incised rocker decoration and traces of gilding. This comprises a border formed from a single line of rocker decoration, in addition to a central motif that is oval shaped in form at the open end, tapering towards the frame end. Two cylindrical rivets with flattened circular heads are present at the centre of the plate, one at the frame and and one at the open end. The front face has a dark green patina, but is very worn and shows signs of pale green corrosive products. This buckle plate measures 15.54mm in height, 29.10mm in length, 1.23mm in thickness, and weighs 3.26g. It is of Medieval date, perhaps from the 13th-14th centuries AD.
