Title
Buckle plate
Description
English: A narrow rectangular buckle plate, wrought in copper alloy. The object survives in two pieces. Both the front and back plate of the buckle plate survives, but they have broken apart at the hinged end. The break on the hinge looks very worn. Both plates are very thin (0.58mm) and rectangular in shape with decoratively shaped corners. There is one single rivet hole, which goes through both plates, near to the open end of the buckle plate. The rivet does not survive. The front plate has been decorated with an engraved geometric pattern. The engraved lines appear to have been filled with some sort of white substance. The reverse and interior of the buckle plate is decorated. This hinge has been made by folding the plate over on itself and then removing a notch from the hinged end, where the strap bar goes through, for the pin (the pin does not survive either). Only the buckle plate survives, there is no trace of the buckle. The buckle plate is quite worn and some of the original surface has been lost. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. These types of buckles dates from the late 12th century to the late 14th century.
