Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date c.AD1350-C.AD1450. Weight is 0.7g, incomplete length is 19.91mm, width is 9.14mm and thickness is 0.72mm. The plate has five circular perforations, two at either end and a single perforation at the centre. These perforations have a diameter of c.1.88mm. Two of the perforations at one end are incomplete, indicating a transverse break and that the plate was originally of longer length. One of the perforations at opposite end is also incomplete, suggesting that it was either accidently placed too close to the edge (the double perforations at both ends are off centre) and/or that a rivet was pulled out resulting in the edge of the plate breaking due to the vulnerability of the plate being increased by the perforation's proximity to the edge of the plate.
