The loop is broadly D shaped (39.95mm wide and 3.95mm thick) with expanding outer sides which subsequently taper towards the integral plate forming a right angle on the internal side of the frame. The loop is decorated on the upper face with a groove which runs along the outer edge of the loop until the expansion. There is a raised D shaped projection which runs along the width of the frame at the point where the frame and loop meet (32.45mm wide and 6.2mm thick), it is decorated with two grooves running along its length. In its centre is a recess to hold the pin which survives. The pin is held in position due to corrosion and is 29.7mm in length and 3.9mm maximum width. The plate is 20mm in surviving length and tapers from 31.2mm wide to 26.8mm wide. The plate terminated with a central broadly D shaped projection flanked by a triangular projection. The D shaped projection is decorated with a double ring and dot motif which is worn. Below the two triangular projections are circular perforations for rivets and broadly in the centre of the plate is a circuular projection holding a rivet with a flattened top (3.8mm in diameter), to the reverse the rivet is square in cross section (3.4mm wide). The reverse of the buckle is flat and undecorated.The buckle is 51.5mm in length, 39.95mm wide, 6.2mm thick and weighs 19.81 grams.
