Description: | A copper-alloy plate from a medieval buckle. The plate is rectangular, formed from one sheet folded over to surround the strap. Five rivet remain in situ; one in each corner and one in the centre. The pin bar is also in situ but the pin and buckle frame are missing. One face of the plate is decorated with a zig zag border. The plate measures 32.6mm (length) x 17.5mm (width) x 4.8mm (thickness) and weighs 4.71g.A similar plate is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, p. 111-112, ref. 505), with a zig zag border, five rivets and an internal pin bar. That example is from an archaeological context dating to c.1270- 1350 AD.
