Description: | A decorated buckle frame with attached plate. The plate is square with four rivet holes; one rivet survives along with a sheet metal rove or washer. Corrosion suggest that the pin was of iron. The D-shaped frame has an expanded outer edge and a tapering recess for the pin seating. The edge of the frame is decorated with bordering grooves filled with incised S shapes, thus copying the similar border on the plate. The dimensions of the frame are 24.74mm x 28.76mm, and it weighs 5.24g. The other dimensions given here are for the plate.The complex engraved decoration on the plate centres on a symmetrical trilobate leaf form with spiral side tendrils. From this, leaf-like forms curve around and upwards. Around this is a square border of S forms.
