An incomplete copper-alloy medieval buckle plate probably dating from the late 12th to 13th century (c. 1150-1300). The frame is missing, being broken at the hinge loops, while two of the prong-like extensions at the attachment end of the plate are vestigial, and a third has broken through at its attachment hole. The front part of the plate, closest to the hinge end, is rectangular. As implied, the plate then divides into three bars extending towards the attachment end outlining two openwork shapes in the plate. As noted, two of these narrow bars are now broken close to the plate b…
