Description: | A rectangular copper alloy face plate from a buckle plate, dating to the medieval period. The face plate is decorated with an outer border of two zig-zaged lines, while in the centre of the plate chevrons or arrows comprised of 'feathered' lines point in towards a rectangular panel. The decoration within this panel appears to comprise multiple lines of uncertain alignment. There are two complete rivet holes and two broken rivet holes where the face plate has snapped. The reverse is plain. The plate would have had a back sheet (now missing) and both plates would have been secured by rivets to the strap in between. The upper side of the face plate has a silvery colouring, suggesting tinning. This style of buckle plate, with its decoration, dates from c. AD 1250-1400.
