Title
BUCKLE
Description
English:

Medieval, white metal coated, copper-alloy buckle plate. It is of a sub-rectangular composite construction, consisting of two plates held together by a domed rivet at its widest end. The buckle loop & pin are absent. The outer face of the outer plate is white metal coated and punched with a dotted border to the two longest edges and with a sinuous vine decoration running from the narrowest end to the widest. There is a speckled area, probably representing foliage, near the bottom, with a small bud approximately half way up and another just under the rivet. The punched line continues past the rivet and onto the top right corner of the plate. Dates to between c1200 and c1500 AD.

The length is 34mm, the width 14mm, and the weight is 2.96g.
