It measures 37.75x25.33x2.27mm and weighs 6.7g.The buckle frame is oval in form, the curved side of the buckle frame widens slightly towards its centre, and the bar is narrowed and offset. The pin consists of a strip of metal triangular in shape with a rounded point, wrapped around the bar and remains in situ. The frame is greenish in colour with a three line of zigzag horizontal lines. The pin in light brown in colour and is 16.70mm in length and 3.76 in width at its widest point.The plate appears to be of a slightly different alloy as it has a rough red-brown patina in places very similar to the pin. The plate has an open work design and consists of a strip of metal, folded in two around the bar of the frame, with a void in the centre to hold the pin in place. The reverse of the plate and the section wrapped around the bar are slightly narrower 14.50mm than the outer face (17.61mm outer). Traces of gilding remain on the outer face of the plate, highlighting the raised decoration. This consists of a double lined boarder running around the edge of the plate and four randomly shaped and placed apertures.
