Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle plate of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500.THe plate is complete, but missing the buckle frame. The plate has been made from cast copper-alloy sheet, folded in half and with a rectangular notch cut from the centre of the fold, and at each end of the fold, to leave two lugs in place to act as a hinge for the now missing buckle frame. The rear edge of the buckle plate retains two dome-headed iron rivets, which bear a cast-integral moulded collar around their base that are part of the plate. The outer face of the plate is decorated with a heralidic beast in profile to the left, either a lion or possibly a bird, indicated by raised lines retaining some gilding.
