The sides of the loop are convex on the exterior and concave on the interior edge. In section the sides of the frame are semi-circular. The portion of the loop opposite the strap bar is ornately decorated with an expanded bar formed of two terminal knops with a collar then joined by a solid oval sectioned bar. The frame has traces of a dark green coloured patina. The pin is missing. The buckle measures 21.27mm wide from side to side and 17.73mm long. It weighs 2.3g.Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) dates similar shaped buckles (Nos. 314 and 318) to the late 12th to the late 14th century.
