Description: | A copper-alloy plate from a Medieval buckle.The double-sided plate has been folded around the axis bar of the now-missing frame. Both the upper and lower sides of the plate are rectangular, the upper being slightly longer than the lower. The perimeter of the upper plate is marked by a double row of punched, opposed triangles. A pair of in situ copper-alloy rivets joins the two sides of the plate together. The folded tabs at the frame end are narrow and are separated from each other by the pin slot.Dimensions: 29.7mm long (slightly bent), 9.8mm wide, 4.7mm thick (total). Weight: 2.48g.The punched triangle decoration on this piece is paralleled on several examples found in London (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 111-114, nos. 502, 514, 533 and 535), in layers dating from between the early to mid 13th century and the late 14th/early 15th century.
