Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the medieval period. The plate is rectangular in plan and comprises one sheet only (the back sheet is missing). There are two stubs which would have formed arms that looped over the buckle itself, and the remains of one copper alloy rivet. There is a hole for a second rivet. The front of the buckle is decorated in raised relief, depicting two birds facing each other either side of a tree. The buckle may have been enamelled or painted, and would have been gilded as another example on this database shows (SUR-D47AA4). Later 12th to 13th century AD.
