The sides of the frame are decorated with moulded bifid knops around the spindle. An anchor chape and the broken remains of a triangular pin remain around the spindle. The reverse of the chape is stamped with the initials IS, or SI dependant on the intended viewing angle, which is likely to represent a makers mark.The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 49.1mm long, 24.2mm wide, 4.6mm thick and weighs 10.6g.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.98-99 and are dated to circa AD 1660 - 1720.
