Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy buckle plate dating from the Medieval period. It comprises of two plates held together with five copper alloy rivets. The strap would originally have been between the two plates. The front plate is rectangular with two projecting tabs at one end and the back plate is smaller, rectangular in plan, with one projecting tab surviving. The plates would have been joined by strips, of which the tabs are the remenant. The strips would be bent around the frame of the buckle, allowing room between them for the pin. The knops are now broken and the frame and pin lost. The rivets are circular in section with rounded knopped heads on the front plate; one rivet is missing. There is traces of gilding on the front plate, but no trace remains on the reverse. The front plate measures 29.1mm by 23.8mm and the back plate measures 25.8mm by 16.4mm. The entire buckle plate including rivets measures 6.4mm in thickness and weighs 6.7g.An example on this database can be seen at SWYOR-510E65, figure 46 in Egan and Pritchard (1991; 77) shows a range of similar buckle plates.
