Description: | Copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end, probably of 9th Century date. Incomplete and damaged, so unable to interpret decorative scheme (which could be an angular zoomorphic design, or a pattern). The design is outlined, probably with enamel, some of which survives as a white border around parts of the design. The terminal appears to be in the form of an animal head, but is poor and corroded/damaged. (Ref K Leahy in 'Early Deira' Geake & Kenny Eds. Oxbow, 2000 p57-60).
