Description: | A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy strap-end of early-medieval date. The strap-end is leaf-shaped, with one end split to take the strap. Its upper face was decorated while the reverse plate would have been plain; any decoration has now been lost due to corrosion. The artefact terminates in a triangular animal-head narrowing to a snout (Th.: 2.5mm). Ears can perhaps be discerned above the snout. In profile the strap-end appears to be solid at the zoomorphic terminal, but divides into two plates at the attachment end. At the divided terminal two rivets can be seen joining the plates.
