Zigzag decorated. A belt composed of three fragments. All the fragments were attached together and the spaces between the fragments were completed. The outer border is perforated with small string holes with short gaps between them. The surface is decorated with four bands composed of zigzag borders placed in between double horizontal bands of embossed dots at the top and the bottom. Four lions in a walking pose are placed one on top of the other inside a rectangular panel, composed of zigzag borders, at the right end of the belt. A loop-shaped belt buckle is riveted to this end. There are repair marks from the period the belt was in use.
