The decoration consists of a large, trilobed knop on the outer edge of each loop and a smaller, trilobed knop at each end of the strap bar. Small traces of a white metal coating remain on the mouldings The underside of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The pin is missing and there is a break in the outer edge of one loop. The break is patinated and probably ancient. The buckle has a patchy, rough, light green patina. It is 46.1mm long, 28.4mm wide and 2.1mm thick. It weighs 4.03gm.Similar buckles are illustrated in Whitehead, 2003, Buckles 1250-1800, page 65, numbers 397 and 398. A buckle of this type, with different decoration, is also illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, number 2992.
