Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end of 11th century date. The object is a Thomas Class B, Type 6 animal-headed strap end. The zoomorphic terminal of this item shows an angular head of an animal with distinct eyes, ears and snout. The animal seems to have something in its jaws, or perhaps it has its tongue out. Behind the head, the strap end widens very slightly. The upper plate of the strap end has broken at the rivet (still intact), while the lower part of the strap end is complete.
