Description: | A cast copper alloy buckle frame. In plan it is a sub 'D' shape and the loop is semi-circular in section with the upper surface having oblique grooves forming a 'twist' style decoration. The strap bar is slightly narrowed and is sub-square in section. The pin is missing. The surface of the frame is abraded and has a matte dark green surface. The width from the strap bar to the apex of the loop is 26.11mm, and it is 31.4mm long. It weighs 5.4g.
