There is a cast copper alloy pin loosely curled around the frame. The pin is rectangular in section and is slightly narrowed towards the tip. The surface of the frame is in fair condition and has a mid green/grey patina. The buckle frame measures 24.1mm diameter and 2.1mm thick. The pin is 25.6mm long. The buckle weighs 9.3g.Similar buckles are illustrated in Egan G. and Pritchard F. (2002) p.58. it is believed these frames, without constrictions for the pin are considered to be buckles, and those with a constriction are brooches.
