A cast copper alloy buckle plate, medieval in date. The plate is rectangular and flat. The object is formed from one plate, folded widthways to form the front and back plate. Both terminals of the plate are broken; therefore no pin recess or other attachment evidence survives. The plate has been decorated with incised decoration, but much of the original surface has been lost due to corrosion. There are three rivet holes in the plate. The metal is a dark greyish-green colour.
