Description: | A sheet copper-alloy strap fitting, probably a buckle plate, of Medieval date. It is formed from a single rectangular sheet of copper alloy folded to form an upper and lower plate. The upper plate is decorated with a border formed from a double band of punched opposing triangles, the lower plate remains undecorated. At the attachment end are two small cylindrical copper-alloy rivets that have flattened heads and pierce upper and lower plates. Due to post-depositional damage the object now has a curved profile. It measures 22.93mm in length (curved), 11.10mm in width, 1.58mm in thickness, and weighs 1.75g. This is probably a Medieval buckle plate similar to examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 514, 520). It is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
