Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman buckle plate of Hawkes and Dunnings Type IIB dating to the period c. AD 350 - 425. The plate is broadly rectangular in plan, and at one end narrows slightly to a rolled tab which gently curves towards the reverse and would likely have been attached to a second plate to sit parallel with the first. It exhibits a circular rivet hole situated centrally towards the edge of the other terminus which would once have held a rivet, now missing. Decoration comprises a design of a triangle composed of punched dots flanked to each side by half triangles also composed of punched dots. The triangles are delineated by a series of punched pellets. The reverse is undecorated. A green-brown patina is present on the surface.The plate measures 26.10mm in length, 9.18mm in width, 0.81mm in thickness and weighs 1.15gCf. WILT-09F876 and SOM-1EA455 on the database.
