Belt clasp that retains the ring buckle and the plates, which make up a single piece. The buckle is oval with a straight tree and grooved decoration at the end. It is divided into three zones; the central zone has three very deep incised lines while the sides have a very fine leaf-based decoration. The lower plate is smooth and the upper one has incised and embossed decoration. The upper plate shows a rampant lion framed by a rectangle of fine incised lines. The lion is embossed and stands out from the rest of the surface. Only one of the four rivets is preserved.
