English, translated from the French record

Hinged belt buckle of gold and lead, Campanopetra, Salamis, Cyprus. The upper part bearing the decoration is in relief and the back is hollowed; the plate is shaped like two tear-drops joined at their points, enclosing a circular motif with a small rounded appendix, and the two are linked beneath the hinge knuckles by a perpendicular strip whose moulding bears small incised lines. Three flat rectangular attachment tenons pierced by a circular hole remain on the back. Width 1.9 cm; length 4.5 cm; incomplete, the plate alone survives with one knuckle broken; inventory Po_0065; photographic negative 04477_01; slide C_0892; 15 April 1966.
