Description: | A complete copper-alloy strap end of Gabor Thomas Class A of early medieval circa 9th century in date. This example measures 37.3mm in length and 11.9mm in width, it is convex sides with a tapering zoomorphic terminal end. The attachment end is split and has a corroded iron rivet through its centre. The edge of the attachment end is shaped with two U-shaped notches. The front face is decorated with an incised curvilinear pattern, of the trewhiddle style, which can further classify it as Thomas Class A type 1. The design seems to be zoomorphic but it is no longer clear. The terminal is a mouse or bat like animal head. It has oval shaped ears and a tapering snout.
