Description: | Copper-alloy object, perhaps a strap end. The heavy solid cast strap end consists of a bulbous terminal and two roughly rectangular arms pierced by an iron rivet for attachment to the strap. Parallels have been recorded on the PAS database, e.g. SWYOR-1D5F98, LIN-3606A4 and SF9057, but the date and function of these items is still uncertain. Another, perhaps similar, item decorated with a Romanesque-style animal head can be found on the PAS database at WILT-8F33A4. A further example, but with a hollow head, comes from Thetford (Rogerson and Dallas 1984, fig. 112, no. 52); this was a surface find and so not from a stratified context.
