Description: | Medieval (c. 13th to 14th century) strap fitting: buckle plate fragment. The copper alloy plate is composed of a rectangular plate which has two broken edges. There is a rivet hole in one corner, an original corner. The breaks of the plate are not complete and one edge is slightly curled. The upper face has been decorated with a checkerboard design and then with a multiple stranded border. The surface is slightly abraded with a dark green patina. It measures 20.63mm long, 18.92mm wide, 0.85mm thick and weighs 1.43g.The design and surface condition suggest of the strap fitting suggest it is of Medieval date. The slightly curled edge may suggest it was a buckle plate rather than a strap end.
