Description: | A corroded cast copper alloy buckle plate / buckle chape of probably post medieval date (1600-1750). The plate is broadly rectangular with a forked end is curled round to clasp the separate bar that contains the incomplete remnants of iron pivot pin. The opposite end tapers to form a V shaped wedge. The object has a pair of rivet holes used to fix the plate to a strap. The rivets are lost. No decoration is present, this may be due to the advanced state of corrosion. The p[late is a mid - light green colour with a worn and corroded surface patina. A similar example has been recorded on the PAS database from Hampshire (HAMP-BD6FA6)The strap plate / buckle plate measures: Length: 35 mm, Width: 18 mm, Thickness: 4 mm, Weight: 2.48 grams
