Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy folded sheet copper alloy buckle plate dating form the Medieval period c. 1150-1500. The hinges are recessed to fit round the frame and there is a slot for the pin. Both the buckle frame and pin are missing. The plate is made from a single sheet of copper alloy and is broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and cross section. Both plates have been bent and the back plate is broken at the attachment end. One copper alloy rivet survives at the hinge end and another survives at the attachment end. There is one open rivet hole at the hinge end, one in the centre and one at the attachment end. The reverse shows the remainder of the back plate, which had been folded over and was smaller than the front plate. Both plates are smooth and undecorated. The buckle plate has a dark green and light brown patina. For examples, please see Meols (Griffiths et al.) and Dress Accessories (Egan & Pritchard).Length: 35.86mm; Width: 19.29mm; Thickness: 3.46mm; Weight: 5.45g
