Embossed dotted. A belt composed of six fragments. All the fragments were attached together and the missing spaces were completed. The outer border is perforated with small string holes with short gaps between them. The surface is decorated with four horizontal bands composed of four lines of embossed dots. There is a panel at the right end. The ends of the two rows of embossed dots that reach the panel at the right end are connected in bow-form. Three figures in a walking pose are laced in this panel at the right end, one on top of the other. Eagles are placed at the top and the bottom and a mythological creature with a bird body and a human head is placed in the middle. Repair marks from the period the belt was in use are visible.
