The outer edge is decorated with a single row of red enamelled dots, some of which are missing the enamel.

In the centre are two raised pointed ovals as decoration. The arms which run from top left to bottom right are longer and wider than the other two as the motif is twisted and they have further decoration in the form of raised borders with a central flattened central section.The belt slide/ strap fitting has two rectangular loops on the reverseBERK-1532C5 is a different shape but has lines of red enamelled dots in a similar form.
