Description: | A broken sheet copper alloy object, possibly a Medieval buckle plate fragment. It is a sub-rectangular piece of sheet copper alloy with one decorated face. It is not clear which edges are complete and which are broken. The design is incised or engraved into the surface as a series of tiny dots, crescents and chevrons, positioned so closely that they form lines. In this way, a spiral of at least five turns is executed on one side of a long curving line, with another curved line and part of a straight line on the other side. The design extends off the edge of the surviving piece. The reverse is plain. The object is 14.9mm long, 13.3mm wide and 0.7mm thick. 0.52g.The object is too fragmentary to identify with certainty, but similar spiral patterns on sheet metal are seen on NMGW-252132 and BERK-EFCE16 which are both thought to be Medieval buckle plates.
