Description: | An incomplete and damaged copper-alloy medieval sheet buckle plate. It is broadly rectangular in plan and expands slightly towards the attachment end. The other end is recessed to accommodate the frame and is incomplete, there is a central notch for the pin at this end which is flanked by two rectangular projections which would have folded in on themselves and been integrally attached to the reverse of the plate. There are two oval perforations visible at the attachment end, one in each corner, a single copper-alloy rivet survives. The perforations have been made from the front face. The reverse of the plate has punched decoration consisting of a punched central concave recess surrounded by smaller circular punches which are broadly square in plan. The punches radiate from the four corners of the broadly square central design to four corners of the buckle plate. Further circular punches are visible running along each of the edges of the buckle excluding the edge which would have been attached to the buckle. The perforations are heavily abraded and incomplete in places resulting in a notched outer edge. The front face of the buckle consequently has raised circular projections with a central boss, The artefact has a mid greed patina.
