The pin is missing. 23.14mm wide oval shaped buckle frame with ogival end - a knop midway round as pin rest has a bevelled outer edge and the reverse side is flat. The undecorated strap plate is formed of a two almost rectangular strips of copper alloy which has the furthest from the buckle end held firm by a rivet still in place - this end is cut, each piece has a point at the outer edge and a convex curved central span 7.54mm wide. The rectangles narrow slightly towards the end away from the buckle - 23.14mm long and 14.88mm to 14.42mm wide. In addition there are two tiny copper alloy joining? plates.
