Description: | A sheet copper alloy buckle plate dating from the medieval period, AD 1250 - 1350. It is rectangular, with a U shaped notch in one end to accept the pin. The upper side is decorated with a pair of narrow dashed grooves running around the edge. The underside is plain. There are four circular perforations for rivets, one in each corner of the plate. No rivets survive. The holes are round. The end of the plate opposite the buckle frame is bent back on itself across the two rivet holes at that end. The corners of the plate at the frame end are recessed to accomodate the frame. The tabs whicn would have extended into hinges round the bar of the frame are broken. The plate is 25.5mm long in its current condition, 16.3mm wide and 3mm thick. 1.22g.Similar plates are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories 1150 - 1450, page 111, numbers 499 and 508 and are attributed to the second half of the thirteenth century and the first half of the fourteenth.
