Description: | An incomplete copper alloy buckle plate of medieval date. The buckle plate is rectangular in plan with two broken projections to one end. From here the plate would have folded around the strap bar of a buckle though the second half of the plate has now been lost to worn breaks. Two circular rivet holes are present at the opposite end of the plate.The upper surface of the surviving plate is decorated with a raised design of a forward facing seated figure dressed in drapery or robes. This figure is flanked by two others, this time standing, each with an arm raised above the central figure. This imagery is likely to be religious in nature. The reverse of the plate is flat and undecorated.The metal has a mid reddish-brown patina and is worn. The plate is 23.4mm long, 18.4mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 2.9g.A similar example has been recorded on the PAS database as: WAW-005B41.
