Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle plate of medieval date. The plate is rectangular in both plan and section with two projections extending from one end which would have fitted over the strap bar to hold the plate in place. Evidence of some stippling around the edges of the plate still exists though the surface is very worn due to its extended deposition in a river context making the exact nature of the decoration difficult to determine. It is however likely that the stippling represents a border following the edges of the plate. The reverse of the plate is undecorated. The metal is a brassy light brownish-yellow colour and is worn. The plate is 26.1mm long, 12.2mm wide, 0.3mm thick and weighs 0.3g.A similar example can be seen in Egan, p.114, fig.74, no.533.
