The outer edge of the frame is wide and has a circular section. The frame is uninterrupted; so therefore has no pin recess. The pin is missing. Where the frame meets the strap bar, very stylised open-mouthed animals can be seen biting the bar. The design is basic and stylised, to the point where the animals have lost their original features and have been decorated with an incised line.
