The oval-framed buckle is undecorated apart from a slight lip in the centre along the outside edge. The sides of the buckle frame are D-shaped in side section and the strap bar is offset and narrowed. The pin is now missing but would have originally been wound around the strap bar. side of the plate is broken and corroded immediately after the pin slot. Overall, the artefact is in a worn but fair condition with a light grey/ green patina.
