Description: | Sheet copper alloy buckle plate with a worn bifid terminal which would have held the buckle frame and a worn central slot for the pin, also missing. The opposite end has two rivet holes to attach the plate to a leather strap. The plate is decorated with raised foliate pattern, consisting of a vine or stem with two tear-shaped leaves, within a raised rectangular border. The style of the foliage suggests that the plate dates from the later Medieval period to the early Post-medieval period.Griffiths, Philpott & Egan (2007) illustrate a similar example but with a different pattern of a lion rampant on page 107, Plate 18, No.851, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.Read (2008) illustrates a toggle clasp plate with a foliate leaf pattern on page 211, No.766, which is dated to the 16th century.
