Rectangular plate, the front of which has decoration executed in copper alloy with coloured enamel inset to form a background which throws the copper alloy decoration into relief. The main element of the design comprises three rectangular blocks of leaf ornament; to either side the leaf panel is flanked by a border of copper alloy with small triple-lobed projections into an outer border of enamel. The whole decorative panel is surrounded by a plain copper alloy margin except at the hinge end where there are plain mouldings. From the rear of the plate extend three shafts of copper alloy by means of which the plate was attached to the belt. There are two pierced cylinders at the hinge end which housed the pivot for the buckle.
