A folded sheet buckle plate made of a white metal. The plate is semi-circular in shape with a length of 28mm and a width of 26mm, the plate is recessed for the frame and two rivets remain, one to one side of the plate and the other in the centre of the edge which would have been attached to the strap. No parallel could be found for this plate, however folded sheet plates were used in the medieval and post-medieval periods.
