At the front the frame is convex and at the rear it is flat. Each outside edge is wider than the sides which both have scrolled ornament. The centrally situated iron spindle is intact but corroded and retains a complete copper alloy chape and the remains of a corroded iron pin. The chape is 'anchor'-shaped and is flat on both faces.The frame is generally corroded and has a patchy dark green patina with some iron staining. The chape has a lighter green patina.27.0 x 14.9 x 4.2mm.Weight: 3.92g. A similar shaped buckle with a stud chape is dated c. 1660-1720 (Whitehead 1996, 99, ref: 624).
