Tripartite silver filigree buckle/clasp, similar to clasps nos C/2003/0160–C/1989/174. The decoration again consists of domed rosettes in two different sizes, applied on a scrollwork filigree surface. The stones set in the centre of the four largest rosettes have been lost. Two rings at the outer clasp pieces would have been connected by chains, with the fastening pin joined to one side. On the reverse side there are six bars for securing the clasp to a belt, and hinge tubes for the pin fastening.
