Description: | Copper alloy buckle plate fragment. Cast rectangular end of a light buckle plate with an heraldic moulded device of a lion walking left looking back towards his swirling tail within a thin rectilinear border. The motif stands in low relief against a roughened ground. Tiny patches of gilding remain, suggesting that the decorative effect of light playing on a coruscating surface was intended. A pair of rivet holes of diameter 1.4mm are set at the corners of the plate at the belt end. This object class is familiar from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, pages 111-112, no. 500), Norfolk and elsewhere. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1230.Length: 17.3mm, Height: 12.0mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 1.20gms.
