Description: | The plate from a medieval buckle dating to the period c.1200 to 1250. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and is made up of two sheets of copper alloy. On one of the short ends of the rectangle there are two small projections which may have formed the attachment to the buckle frame and suggest that the plate may have originally been one sheet of copper alloy which was folded over. The front of the plate is decorated with incised lines which form a chevron design around the edges as a border. The back of the plate is undecorated. There are two rivets which hold the two pieces of copper alloy together and both of these have circular sections. Similar examples have been found from excavations in London (See Egan and Pritchard 1991, page 111, number 499) and were dated to the period AD 1200 to 1230.
