Description: | A copper alloy medieval buckle plate dating to c AD 1200-1450. The buckle plate comprises an almost square plate of copper alloy which has two holes pierced in at the corners of one edge and at the opposite end there are two hooks which would have held the pin attachment bar. The back of the plate is undecorated. The front of the plate is decorated with champlevee. The decoration comprises what appears to be a bird entwined with leaves. There is evidence of the green glass granules of the enamelling which filled the fields. The bird has a large eye which was originally filled with enamelling. There is evidence of red in the incised lines on the bird (although this may be corrosion) and there is also evidence of tinning or gilding.
