Description: | A worn and incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date. It comprises front and back plates of differing size, both of which are incomplete due to old breaks. The front plate is rectangular in form, missing the attachment end and most of the frame end due to old breaks. It has rectangular frame recesses and pin slot, with two circular rivet holes at the frame end and one at the centre of the plate, all three of which retain separately cast copper-alloy rivets with globular heads. The front face of the plate has punched decoration comprising a double border of pellets, with possible further pellet decoration between, although this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. Traces of gilding are visible on the upper plate. The lower plate is flat, rectangular in size and both shorter and narrower than the upper plate. Between the two plates is extensive copper-alloy corrosion. The entire object measures 27.91mm in length, 14.02mm in width, 3.47mm in thickness and 2.54g in weight. This is an incomplete buckle plate of probable Medieval date, c.12th-15th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
