Description: | An incomplete medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy buckle plate, consisting of the upper plate only and missing two rivets. The sheet-metal plate (0.6mm thick) is rectangular in shape with a rectangular cut-out at one short end and a smaller and decorative triangular cut out at the opposite end. A rivet hole (0.9mm diameter, pushed through from front to back) is in each corner to either side of the triangular cut-out. The long edge either side of the rivet hole is decorated with two smaller trianglular indentations.The areas of buckle plate to either side of the larger rectangular cut-out are curving in cross-section - these would have curled around the buckle frame and extended into a backplate (the breaks here are old and worn).The object is a light green colour with a smooth patina. There are traces of iron staining around the rivet holes. It measures in 29.5mm length, 29.7mm in width, and is 0.9mm thick. It weighs 2.84g.
