Description: | An incomplete strap end or buckle plate, which is sub-rectangular in plan and formed from one plate which has stamped decoration on the upper surface in the form of a probable seated central figure with a standing figure either side. There are two dome-headed rivets, one in each corner along one short edge. The edges of the plate are abraded. The surface has traces of a dark green patina, otherwise it has patches of red copper corrosion on the surface. The plate measure 22.08mm long and 16.44mm wide, weighing 1.7g.The plate is either a strap end or buckle plate; a buckle plate is perhaps most likely as the design is positioned as if it is meant to be viewed horizontally rather than vertically which would occur on a strap end. It is probably of a Medieval date; 13th to 14th centuries.
