It is arc-shaped in the form of a lute, with a green-jade hook on top. Three jade disks are inlaid into the gilded silver frame, each decorated with silkworm patterns. The central holes of the upper and lower rings are embedded with glass beads.
Excavated in 1951 from Guwei village, Huixian county, Henan province, the silver belt buckle is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of China.
