A copper alloy Medieval buckle plate with the frame and pin missing. The plate is rectangular and has folded hinges but these are broken. The two plates are joined by five dome headed rivets arranged two at each end and one in the centre. The centre rivet also attached a sheet decorative feature on the front plate; a piece of sheet in the shape of a cross fourchee (probably) but with two of the arms missing. The buckle dates from the 13th or 14th century. Compare BERK-84D391, ESS-1820B3, HAMP-DA2351 and LVPL-72F110. The extra sheet decorative feature seems unusual.
