Description: | Copper alloyBuckle Plate fragments. Two fragments of a buckle plate; one retains an off-centre burred rivet head of diameter circa 3mm towards one end. Casually incised decoration comprises linear borders on both fragments, limiting a pair of crossing wavy lines against a ground of horizontal strokes on one, and two or more pairs of wavy lines on the other. Both ends are curled and broken. A close parallel to this decoration is presented by Ross Whitehead (1996, Buckles 1250-1800, Greenlight Publishing, Chelmsford, no. 76 and colour cover illustration to his first edition), describing it as a mythological beast. This reporter finds the creature hard to isolate given the condition of this example, though the date range runs a century later than might be expected from Egan's survey of London finds. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450.Length: circa 36mm, Height: 18mm, Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 2.33gms.
