It measures 19.29mm in length, 9.62mm in max.width, 3.59mm in max.thickness and weighs 1.01g.The buckle plate is formed of a sheet of copper alloy 0.59mm thick which was originallyfolded roughly at the centre to create a back plate and the fold itself cut to form two arms with the notch for the pin to swing around the bar of the missing frame. The folded part is now missing although the stub of arms remains with gilding and decoration in the form of a linear groove and a wavy groove, arranged transversely to the plate.At the opposite end are two dome-headed rivets, and around this an area of thick gilding.To the reverse the lowerplate is narrower (15.01x7.51mm). The opposite ends of the dome-headed rivets are visiblewith traces of gilding around.
