It is missing the majority of the pin due to old breaks, now worn.The sides of the frame are flat with a narrowed cylindrical outer edge. Still attached to the outer edge is a separate copper-alloy circular sheet roller. The front face of the roller is decorated with nine transverse grooves.Attached to the frame is an undecorated copper-alloy rectangular buckle plate of folded sheet type. The frame end is recessed to accommodate the frame and has a rectangular pin slot. At the attachment end is a separate circular copper-alloy rivet with a large flattened round head. The remains of a copper-alloy pin with an open loop is still present.This buckle frame measures 20.09mm in length, 18.03mm in width at the outer edge, 14.22mm in width at the attachment end, 4.35mm in thickness. This buckle plate measures 20.42mm in length, 13.50mm in width, 3.60mm in thickness.
