Description: | Crude copper alloy strap end, Thomas type A. The strap end has two rivet holes at the attachment end. The terminal curves around the holes creating an 'm'-shaped terminal. The main body is relatively squat and short compared to most strap ends of the this type. Only the backplate of this area survives. The mount terminates with an animals head, which is very crude in execution. The animal has two rectangular panels representing the ears, two very large semi-circular eyes with solid sections representing the pupils, and a snout depicted by two curved lines of silvering.
