It is trapezoidal in shape which flares outwards slightly at top attachment end, measuring 16.88mm and about halfway down the length of the plate it incurves slightly before flaring outwards to the end 17.15mm. The full measurements of the plate are 39.35mmx16.88 with a weight of 4.8g. The top half of the attachment end has a central recessed pin notch to accommodate the frame and pin (which are now missing) and a small part of the underside of the plate survives (7.63mmx16.88mm). Below the recessed pin notch is a perforation which is where the two sheets would have been riveted together (rivets now missing). There are two more such perforations for securing at the plates end. The upper surface of the plate is decorated with single line of roulette opposing triangles. This plate has corroded to a light-brown colour but has patches of mid/dark-green patina. There are also traces of gold gilding on the surface.It is commented on HAMP-C552D6 on the data-base, that in London similar buckles have been found in contexts dating mainly from the 14th century AD.
