Description: | Cast copper alloy single loop rectangular buckle with extended outer edge. The pin is missing and the plate is partially missing and broken. The buckle frame is 18.6mm long, 21.6mm wide and 3.3mm thick. The outer edge is teardrop shaped in cross section and 6.2mm wide; it is decorated with 5 grooves, a central pin recess with a groove each side and grooves near the ends. The remains of a casting spur is visible on each side of the frame. The strap bar is narrowed and 1,9mm wide.
The strap plate has broken into two pieces, one still attached to the buckle. The plate is folded over the strap bar with a slot for the pin and has one rivet hole; it is 31.6mm long, 16.4mm wide and a single part of the plate is 0.4mm thick. The plate is decorated on one side: the rivet hole is ringed by six smaller holes which do not have counterparts on the back so cannot have held rivets, around these is engraved a circle. The plate has broken aong this engraved curve.
