The frame (14.1 x 20.4 x 2.6mm) is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, convex on the outside and flat on the inside. It has a narrowed bar. It has a tapering copper-alloy pin, rectangular in cross-section. The plate is recessed to accommodate the plate and has a central slot for the pin. The front sheet is rectangular in plan and measures 12.7 in length and 15.1mm in width. The back plate is roughly 'D'-shaped in plan. The sheets may not be complete. A central circular rivet hole penetrating the sheets has a diameter of 2.2mm. A patina has not survived and all three elements are covered with light green copper-alloy corrosion products. 24.8 x 20.4 x 2.6mm. Weight: 2.89g.A similar buckle from London has been published and dated c. 1230-c. 1350 (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 74, fig. 45, ref: 304).
