Each outside edge is bevelled on its inner and outer face. On the upper face, at each side of the spindle housing, there is a pair of parallel transverse grooves. The iron spindle secures a copper-alloy chape, triangular in plan. The attachment end of the chape is missing. In side view, the frame is evenly curved so that the outer edges slope downwards from the spindle. The pin is missing.This buckle frame has traces of gilding. On each side and on the underside of the frame there are numerous file marks. There are also file marks on the upper face of the chape. However, these are barely visible. The edges of the chape are corroded and corroded iron deposits and iron staining are present on the frame and chape.21.1 x 17.8 x 5.7mm. Weight: 3.03g.
