Description: | An incomplete openwork cast copper alloy buckle plate of Roman date. The plate is roughly rectangular in form with two cut-out shapes, each resembling a rectangle joined to a circle at either end, parallel to each other. These shapes would probably be horizontal when the belt was worn. At the two remaining corners of the plate are holes for rivets. The attachment end of the plate is missing, as is the buckle frame and pin. The plate and frame were probably cast as a single piece. A band of incised decoration runs across the plate at the edge of the missing frame. It is a transverse groove flanked by a band on either side decorated with incised diagonal lines. The object has a dark green patina. See similar examples in Appels, A. and Laycock, S. (2007) Roman Buckles and Military Fittings, Greenlight Publishing, p. 229-231.
