Description: | An incomplete medieval copper alloy buckle plate dating to the period c.AD 1350-1400. The buckle plate is rectangular in plan, with an integral trapezoidal rolled tab projecting from one logitudinal edge. A second identical tab would have sat beside it, and together they would have held the axis bar for the buckle frame, but this second tab is now missing due to a worn break. Two circular apertures measuring 2.33mm are situated on a logitudinal axis, one placed at each terminus. Both exhibit iron corrosion staining around the perimeter. A third smaller aperture is placed centrally on the same axis and this retains part of an iron rivet. Decoration comprises a double moulded border, surrounding a border of engraved zig-zags (wriggle work) which in turn encloses a thin moulded border. A rectangle is at the centre of these borders, but any decoration within it is no longer discernable. The reverse is undecorated. The buckle plate is quite worn, with a green and brown patina on the surface.It measures 35.89mm in width, 17.39mm in length including the tab, 0.76mm in thickness and weighs 2.29g.Cf. Egan and Pritchard (1991) p.75, fig, 45, no. 311.
