On one of the longer frame bars the pin is looped round, this consists of a piece of copper alloy which narrows to a point at the terminal end. Close to the loop of the pin is a ridge.The buckle has a dark green patina, with patches of light green. It measures 25.9mm in length, 25.7mm in width, and weighs 3.93g.
