Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date. Only the upper plate survives intact, the lower plate and the buckle frame now missing due to old breaks. It is flat, rectangular in form with rectangular frame recesses and central rectangular pin slot. The plate has been bent to an angle of 90 degrees due to post-depositional damage. It is decorated on its front face with an incised rocker decoration border and the remains of gilding that would have originally covered the entire exterior surface. At the centre of the plate is a circular rivet hole, with two further rivet holes positioned at the attachment end. In its current state this buckle plate measures 30.87mm in length (folded), 16.95mm in width, 1.21mm in thickness, and weighs 5.29g. This is a buckle plate similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 499, 505) and probably dates to the 13th or 14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
