Copper alloy buckle. Cast single looped buckle with a long integrally cast plate with a medial barrel-shaped expansion and a rounded point at its inner end.

A further pair of round knops flank the outer end of the plate, which has a drilled hole of diameter 3.5mm between them to receive the pin [lost]. A further drilled fixing hole appears at the medial expansion, with two more at the outer edge of the terminal point. A domed rivet of head diameter 4.5mm passes through the plate just behind the pin seat, with another in the middle of the terminal. Slight gilding traces appear. Lightly bent.
