The front is decorated with a an outer and inner beaded border that encompass a pair of intertwining lines to create a series of ovals. Each oval has either another oval or a small circle inside, alternating around the buckle; making the design look like a series of eyes. Traces of black and white inlay are visible on the decorated side, within the recesses formed by the decoration. There is also traces of gilding on both sides.The reverse has two projections in the centre of the two shortest sides of the rectangle, which would have held a pin/bar (now missing). The reverse is also covered in a light green patina but traces of silver and gold gilding are visible around the holes. The buckle has been bent out of shape.It is 10.18 grams, 56.06mm length, 26.53mm width
