Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy folded sheet copper alloy buckle plate dating from the Medieval period; probably the 13th-14th Centuries. Both the buckle frame and pin are missing. The plate is made from a sheet of copper alloy and is broadly sub-rectangular in both plan and cross section. The hinges are recessed to fit round the frame but one of the lugs which wrapped round the pin bar has been broken. There is a slot for the pin. There are three rivet holes placed along the centre of the plate. Only two copper alloy rivets survive with a single open rivet hole at the attachment end. The rivets have domed heads. The reverse shows the remainder of the back plate, broken across the central rivet hole, but it was always smaller than the front plate being narrower. The object has a dark green patina. There is no visible decoration. Please see Meols, page 115, plate 19, number 1030. Also compare to PAS record ID: DUR-A7B123.Length: 29.6mm; Width: 10.4mm; Thickness: 5.4mm; Weight: 2.31g
