Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy sheet plate from a composite buckle. The plate is rectangular in plan with a concave attachment end. At this attachment end there is an open, round, grooved central aperture, with two rivet holes either side, one of which is open, with the corner of the plate missing. Both surfaces of the plate are undecorated but the reverse shows evidence of soldering from where it would have been attached to the forked spacer of the buckle frame. The metal has a mid-brown patina. The rectangular shape and straight-edged end of the plate point toits use asa buckle plate rather than strap end.The sheet plate is 27.47mm long, 15.59mm wide, 0.70mm thick and weighs 0.83g.Some very similar examples of composite buckle plates from Londonare illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p79, fig.48.
