Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1300-1400) sheet copper-alloy buckle plate consisting of the top part only. It measures 34.7x12.2x0.7mm and weighs 2.2g. The plate is rectangular in shape. At one end is a central recessed notch for the (missing) pin between two projecting arms - these would have curled around the missing frame and extended into the missing backplate. Behind the recessed notch is an in situ globular-headed rivet. There are two further rivet holes at the opposite end, one with the globular-headed rivet in situ. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with a zig-zag grooved border and retains traces of gilding.A similar buckle plate on this database is HAMP-09B251. Another, HAMP-C552D6, is commented therein, that in London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating mainly from the 14th century AD.
