This strap end has an incomplete split end, with one rivet hole surviving, the front face of which is incomplete due to an old break and is convex sided with a tapering plate with a zoomorphic mouse/bat-like terminal end. Above the terminal the front face is decorated with trewhiddle style now worn but probably depicting looping beasts or plants.
