Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman openwork buckle plate dating to the 4th and 5th centuies. It is rectangular in plan and subtriangular in section (with a bevelled edge). It consists of only two arms of the mount, with the rest missing. The mount has evidence of openwork on its inside, but due to breaks, the design is no longer obvious. There are four radiating incised lines in the centre of the vertical arm, indicating an openwork circle in the now missing corner; the remnants of another openwork circle is visible in the sole corner of the mount. Above this, on the vertical arm, are three lateral incised lines leading from the outer edge to the centre of the arm, where there is a single circular piercing in the metal. The horizontal arm has a partial rectangular collar at the base of the openwork circle. It is good condition, and is dark green in colour. It measures 28.90 mm L x 18.19 mm W x 4.03 mm TH and weighs 4.06 g.Similar buckle plates can be seen on the database WAW-5AEF78 and SUR-00DEF4
