Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle plate dating to the Medieval period. The object is rectangular in plan and consists of a rectangular sheet of copper alloy which has been folded in half lengthways. A Rectangular notch has been cut out in order for the pin to attach to the strap bar. The notch measures 6.64mm in width. The plate is decorated on the outer face with two rectangular incised panels within which is a cross pattée. In the centre of each cross pattée is an incised plain cross. With the terminals of each arm of the cross pattée are three punched dots. Either side of the notch the object is decorated with four horizontal grooves.Two circular rivet holes with an internal diameter of 3.04mm remain on the outer face. The rear of the object is undecorated. One rivet hole remains at the rear while the opposite corner of the plate is broken due to a probable ancient break. The object has a mid-green patina and traces of gilding are visible on the outer face.
