Description: | A damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet plate possibly from a medieval buckle. If this attribution is correct than half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. It is rectangular with a pair of neat perforations at the attachment end; neither rivet survives. There is some abrasion at this end which has broken into one of the holes. The other end shows hints of a central recess for a pin although this is unclear. Just in from this end is a perforation which retains a square sectioned rivet with hammered down end. The location suggests that this may represent a repair. This seemingly plain plate has corroded to a variable mid-green colour over a red-brown metal, with some patches of off-white corrosion product. The artefact has been bent in numerous directions in profile.
