Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy decorative buckle plate or strap end, consisting of a front and back plate held together by two rivets. Both plates are rectangular in plan, bent and corroded. The back plate has a diagonal break, while the completeness of the front plate is uncertain. Two copper alloy rivets remain in situ at the attachment end, each with a domed head measuring 3.1mm in diameter. The upper surface has engraved decoration in the form of curving lines within a rectangular border, and traces of a red substance are also visible. The reverse is undecorated. The plates would most probably have been soldered to a forked spacer and served as either buckle plates or a strap end. The front plate has a maximum length of 30.4mm, the back plate of 26.1mm. The object is 12.6mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weighs 2.17g.
