Description: | A copper alloy strap end (Thomas 2003 Class A, Type 1 or 2). The strap end is split at the attachment end and has convex sides, tapering to a straight lower edge that is narrower than the attachment end. The incised decoration is no longer distinct due to corrosion. It is possible to see a trilobate palmette at the attachment end with a longer decorative panel below. This appears to be filled with sinuous (possibly animal) ornament with concentric chevrons above. The decoration of the terminal is obscured by corrosion but may be zoomorphic. The reverse is undecorated.
