The frame is kidney- or heart-shaped in plan, in that it is D-shaped but with a concave front edge. The incomplete buckle plate measures 19.95x31.94x4.34mm and weighs 8.34g.The kidney-shaped frame measures min7.29mm, max.8.20mm by 22.88mm internally. The frame is square-ish in cross-section. It has broken at its join with the plate, against the straight edge.
