Description: | A cast copper alloy front plate from a medieval buckle, dating from AD1200-1400. It is rectangular and has a rectangular panel within which is a design in relief of a lion passant. The front of the plate is gilded but only traces remain. The slotted hinge remains in place at one end of the plate and two dome headed, copper alloy rivets remain in place at the opposite end. The plate has a red patina with patches of dark green.Similar examples are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories, page 111, figure 72 and are attributed to the thirteenth century. This is a fairly common design of buckle plate and other examples on the database include SWYOR-7198F2, SWYOR-2F6285 and SWYOR-B4EB93.
