Description: | The plate and pin of a medieval buckle dating to the period c. 1250 to 1400. The plate is made up of a sheet of copper alloy which is sub-rectangular in plan. The sheet has been folded over and is still rounded where it was folded over the frame of the buckle. At this end of the plate there is a oval perforation which still holds the buckle pin. At the opposite end of the plate there is incised lines used as decoration in a chevron design as a border. In the centre of the incised line decoration there is a single rivet which is still in place. The underside is undecorated and there is still evidence of the leather strap between the two parts of the folded plate. Similar examples with this chevron design have been excavated from London and have been dated to the period c. 1250 to 1400, see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 111 (no. 505) and 113 no. 517.
