An incomplete copper alloy single loop buckle with forked spacers for the attachment of a composite rigid plate (separately recorded as DOR-A1D3B3). An oval frame with a pointed lip in the outer edge and bevelled edges. The bar is off-set and slightly constricted to accommodate the copper alloy pin. The pin has a collar at the attachment end and tapers to a rounded point. It has a D-shaped cross section. The forked spacer arms are stepped in about part way along the inner edges and taper to a point. One arm is incomplete. The copper alloy wire pin is short and pointed. It is hooked around the bar.
