Description: | Cast copper-alloy strap end. Split upper end with traces of two iron rivets intact. The straight upper sides taper slightly before extending out to a sub-circular centre which has a straight-sided shaft below. Vestigial zoomorphic terminal. The upper section has an engraved rectangular panel with curving motifs within and short transverse lines extending from the outer border on one side. There is an engraved circle at the centre with four lines resulting in eight segments. Beyond this is an outer border made up of two engraved circles with oblique lines. The lower section has two longitudinal median lines intersecting diagonal and oblique lines within. The zoomorphic terminal is crude with the ears depicted by two short transverse lines, the forehead by double parallel longitudinal lines and the nose by a moulded definition. The engraved detail on the upper and central sections appear to be infilled with white enamel, which does not survive in all recesses. The reverse is flat. Even mid-green patina.
