Description: | A copper alloy strap-end (Early Medieval). It is a Class A Type 1 - strapend with an open end, tapering plate and zoomorphic terminal - according to Gabor Thomas' typology. The animal head on the terminal has laid back ears and is quite stylised. The plate is decorated with a Trewhiddle style pattern of an interlaced animal. There is a small area of inlaid silver/niello remaining. The edges of the plates are decorated with vertical incised lines placed evenly along the edge. The open end is scalloped and both the rivets are still present. The strapend has a dark green patina and there are traces of silvering or tinning on the reverse.
