The tapering pin is 'D'-shaped in cross-section throughout its length, convex at the top and flat on the underside.This buckle is mainly covered with superficial copper alloy corrosion products. However, there are patches of a dark green patina.22.5 x 21.6 x 6.2mm. Weight: 3.48g.Similar buckles have been recovered from archaeological excavations in London.
