Description: | A broken cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end, with the remains of silver inlay. The strap end is the kind identified by Thomas as Type A, with a moulded animal head terminal. The front face has elaborated grooved borders, originally inlaid with silver, and a central disc shaped panel with an engraved design, either geometric or zoomorphic interlace. The attachment end has been broken off. The reverse is plain, but has a central panel of what appears to be something like a solder, suggesting the piece has been reused as a decorative plate.
