Description: | Incomplete medieval gilt copper alloy buckle plate broken near the fold, with a pin slot, frame recesses, two rivet holes near the inside edge (one containing a rivet with a rectangular rove). The front is decorated with a deeply engraved symmetrical foliar design largely comprised of four spirals, set within a frame composed of lines and dashes. The sides and the inside edge are marked with slight notches, now rather worn. There is no surviving trace of enamel inlay and most of the gilding has been lost. Very similar to but larger than two other west Norfolk examples, from Heacham (HER 51073) and Runcton Holme (HER 28741, NMS-41D473). The latter retained traces of enamel. 34.5 x 29.5mm. Thickness 1.7 - 2mm. c.1150 - c.1225.
