They were thus hinged. Rings soldered on sides for string beads. Also two rings on each
underneath, for attachment string to brace.
Incised knot decoration on upper surface.

At either end of one buckle tubes attached with a space between to take a similar tube attached
to brace tops. The other buckle had plain ends.
