Description: | Copper alloy strap end 43mm long and 11mm wide. The object has a bulging oblong shape which terminates in a beasts head. The head, which forms about a third of the whole object, is made up of two sub square ears which are tucked behind the head. Next a ridge on the head tapers into a v shape. At the narrowest point the eyes are shown as holes on each side of this. The ridge then tapers out again to form a triangular snout. Above the beasts head is a panel with a dotted border covering the remainder of the object. This panel contains a Trewhiddle style quadraped beast on its hind legs with its tail curled behind. The very end of the object contains two rivet holes just above the beasts head. Recorded at the Hidden Treasures roadshow in Market Harborough.
