The surviving heads have prominant ears with deep concavities, grooves flanking a median ridge on the snout and deliniating pointed oval eyes. The face and chamfered outside edge are separated by a rib running along the angle, and are segmented by multiple transverse notches. Length 38mm. Surviving width 25mm. Thickness at frame 3mm. At head 5mm. A less elaborate and worn complete buckle frame with three animal heads was found in Ingworth (HER 21830).
