The corners are rounded and the outer curved ends are decorated with moulded pin rests with engraved opposing oblique lines resulting in a leaf design. A stud chape, complete with stud, remains around the spindle though the pin no longer remains. Traces of silvering remain on the frame and a possible makers mark is present on the chape though cannot be determined. The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The buckle is 44.1mm long, 25.8mm wide, 5.2mm thick and weighs 11.9g.Similar examples are illustrated in Whitehead, p.99 and are dated to circa AD 1660 - 1720.
