Title
buckle plate
Description
English: Sheet copper alloy buckle plate with two broken and worn hinge loops which would have held the buckle frame and a worn central slot for the pin, also missing. There are also frame recesses on the outside of the hinge loops. The opposite end has two rivet holes to attach the plate to a strap. The plate is decorated with a sunken pentagonal panel (shaped in a point between the rivet holes) in which is a raised foliate pattern, consisting of a curving vine or stem with one small oval and two larger drop-shaped leaves. There may originally have been enamel around the plant.

Compare NMS-DEC466, which is dated to the late 12th to early 13th century. Griffiths, Philpott & Egan (2007) illustrate a similar example but with a different pattern of a lion rampant on page 107, Plate 18, No.851, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.
