Each half of this buckle or clasp is formed from white metal in an oval with concentric filigree designs. At the center of each (superimposed over the closure mechanism) are paired scrolled trefoil shapes. Each half of buckle set with clear pastesr (Buckle B missing gem). Strap/belt no longer extant. Possibly a cloak clasp rather than belt, based on size.
