Description: | Copper alloy buckle plate with iron accretion. Rectangular sheet metal plate of thickness 0.8mm, folded to clasp a buckle frame [lost] and slotted for a pin. The back part of the plate is narrower than the front. Four rivets of head diameter c.4mm and length 5.5mm were set near the corners of the display face of the plate. Rust in the slot suggests the pin [now otherwise lost] was of iron and that the buckle was deposited in assembled form. These aspects of construction indicate a robust buckle for a thick strap. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450.Length: 33.2mm, Height: 21.0mm, Thickness (as found overall): 9.0mm, Weight: 8.02gms
