Description: | A corroded, damaged and incomplete copper-alloy medieval buckle sheet plate. Just under half of the plate survives; it would have been created from a broadly rectangular strip twice the length. The frame end is recessed to accommodate the frame and has broken at this weak point, with one of the tabs abraded. There is a central slot for the pin at this end. Just below this are two holes through which the folds would have been riveted to each other through the strap; one rivet with an expanded head survives in place. Two further holes towards the attachment end would have functioned in a same way; both rivets have been lost as a result of the holes abrading through. A fifth, central rivet hole can be found between the two pairs of holes. A similar rivet is extant within this retaining a separately applied sheet mount. The mount is in the form of a crude quatrefoil and has lost one of its lobes due to old damage. The upper surface of the plate is otherwise plain but does bear a few traces of gilt. This plate has corroded to a red-brown colour over which is a dusting of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The buckle has been bent in numerous directions in profile.
