Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date, c. 1200-1300.The buckle plate has a decorated face with traces of gilding. The plate is sub-rectangular in shape, with incomplete hooked hinge fittings on the left edge and a copper-alloy rivet in the upper right and lower right corners to fix the plate to the belt or strap.A raised rectangular border frames the scene, which seems to depict a centaur moving left, with the human torso facing the viewer, right arm forward, left arm extended. Behind the centaur is a tree. The field has been scored in sinuous grooves.The reverse is undecorated.
