The frame has moulded decoration forming knops along the exterior edge, a ring and dot at the terminal of the strap bar and an abstract animal head at the apex of the loop. The strap bar is narrowed and is semi-circular in section. The pin is copper alloy and is an elongated triangle in plan which is curled around the strap bar. In profile the buckle forms a wide 'V' shape. The reverse is undecorated. The buckle measures 50.05mm long, 27.99mm wide, and weighs 11g.Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate highly decorated double frames, No. 343 for example which has similar knops along the edge.

East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58) also illustrates decorated double loops buckles, for example No. 152 which date between 15th to 16th centuries.
