The sides of the loop are convex on the exterior and concave on the interior edge. In section the sides of the frame are sub oval. The portion of the loop opposite the strap bar is ornately decorated and expanded with transverse ribbing on the upper surface. The pin is an elongated sub-rectangular which has been curled around the strap bar. The frame has traces of a light green coloured patina. The buckle measures 22.7mm wide from side to side and 18.01mm long. It weighs 2.4g.
