Description: | Copper alloy.Buckle Plate. Cast rectangular sheet, folded and riveted to a strap of 3.5mm thickness by three centrally-placed rivets of diameter 2.7mm; the ends of the rivets were crudely bent or burred at the back of the plate. The plate appears to have been significantly narrower on its display face than behind the strap; the latter must have been partially revealed at its end. An irregular oval slot at the narrowed end of the buckle plate appears to have allowed the pin to turn outside the plate, rather than having a slot enabling its independent movement. These features confer a crude appearance, and suggest inexpert or improvised manufacture, an impression which is heightened by its encrusted condition. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400.Length: 42.5mm, Width (back of plate): 16mm, Thickness (plate): 1.4mm, Weight: 4.71gms.
