The outside edge has scrolling foliate decoration surrounded by traces of blue enamel. There are two larger areas of yellow/green/white enamel towards the centre of the frame. The buckle is 43.5 mm in length, 30.96 wide and weighs 13.91 grams. Almost identical to NMS-809D31, and an early 13th century Limoges example (O'Neill (ed)1996, 287).
