Title
A cast copper alloy buckle with plate, probably dating from the 15th/ 16th century AD.
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle with attached triangular plate with gilding (length: 38.7mm; width at buckle: 23.8mm; thickness: 3.2mm; weight: 5.92g). There are a couple of ridges on the outer edge of the buckle frame, as well as two lobes at either end of the strap bar. The plate (length: 18.7mm) is still attached round the strap bar and slants in a triangular shape to a slightly broken point at the opposite end. There are the remains of a copper alloy rivet on the plate near the strap bar, as well as part of a rivet hole at the opposing pointed end. The pin is missing. The artefact is in a worn and corroded condition, with remains of gilding on the upper surface. The patina has a dark green colour.
