Description: | Copper alloy openwork relief-decorated strap-end. At one end there is a straight, recessed rectangular plate with two rivet holes, one at either end. From here the object thickens and forms a broadly rectangular openwork, relief-decorated plate in the form of a plant with tendrils, forming eight irregular apertures. There are three moulded motifs arrange longitudinally down the centre of the object, probably acanthus leaves. There are also six dot and circle motifs, two either side of the uppermost acanthus, with three arranged laterally between the upper and central acanthus, and one beneath the lowermost acanthus. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Patchy mid-green and reddish-brown patina.
