Weight7.89g.The buckle is oval in plan and the outer edge of the frame is slightly wider than the sides. The bar, which is circular in cross-section, is narrowed and slighlty offset. It terminates at each end with a rounded knop. The shaft of the pin tapers to a sharp point and the pin loop fully encloses the bar. The pin has been reversed and is now situated "upside-down".The buckle is corroded and a patina is not present. However, a small area of gilding has survived at the junctions between the knops and the frame on the front face of the buckle.
