Description: | A copper-alloy, Thomas Class B, Type 2 strap-end with a Trewhiddle-style relief design. The strap-end is split in two for about a third of the way down, to take the leather or textile of the strap; one of the two rivets hole broken. Just below the two rivet holes is a pelta or fan shape. The panel below this has an indistinct animal, with its back along the right hand side of the strapend. The creature is looking back at its tail, which is curled under. Its legs are extended as if in the act of walking. Below this is a long thin panel with a zigzag, which extends down to three deeply incised lines that may represent the animal-head terminal that these objects often end with.As the strapend has a dark colour and texture the finder has outlined the design on the duplicated picture.
