Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle plate of medieval date. The plate is rectangular in both plan and section with two rivet holes present, one of which with the broken and bent rivet surviving. One end of the plate is broken and the remains of either a third rivet hole or the beginnings of the strap bar attachment can be seen. Too little of this section remains to determine which of these options is correct. Both sides of the plate are undecorated.The metal is a brassy light brownish-yellow colour and is very worn. The plate is 26.9mm long, 9.2mm wide, 1mm thick and weighs 1.3g.A similar example can be seen in Egan, p.111, fig.72, no.514.
