Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end of probable 14th century AD date (N.Mills, p.20). The object is tongue-shaped and consists of two plates separated by a central spacer and joined together by a small circular rivet at the proximal end. The plates taper from 9.7mm wide at the proximal end to 7mm wide at the distal (knop) end. The upper plate has incised deocration in the form of central wavy line and a regular pattern of short notches. The distal end of the plate has a decorative indentation on each vertical edge. The knop is in the form of an animal's head and has clearly moulded ears, eyes, nose and mouth. The underside of the head is flat. Overall, the object measures 58.6mm long by 9.8mm wide and 3.2mm thick. It weighs 5.29g.
