The frame is the same depth across the frame and strap bar. It is also slightly twisted. The reverse is flat and is undecorated. The frame has traces of a dark green coloured patina. The pin is missing. The frame measures 17.36mm long and 21.57mm wide. It weighs 1.7g.Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) illustrate a similar buckle (No. 304), but slightly more moulded in profile, and is dated to the mid 12th to the 14th century.
