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 have been folded over and would have fitted over the strap bar to hold the plate in place. Both sides of the plate are undecorated. Three rivet holes are present placed centrally along the middle of the plate. Only the middle of the three holes still has the rivet in place though this is now broken and worn. The metal is a brassy light brownish-yellow colour and is worn. The plate is 33.4mm long, 8.4mm wide, 0.3mm thick and weighs 1.1g.A similar example can be seen in Egan, p.111, fig.72, no.514.
