Description: | Cast copper alloy early medieval strap end. Tongue shaped in outline with a flattened and expanded terminal, a central section D shaped in profile and an expanded flattened attachment end. The attachment end is split to hold the end of the strap and has the broken remains of two rivet holes; one still containing part of a copper alloy rivet. It is 47.8mm long, 10.8mm wide and 3.2mm thick and weighs 4.4 grams. There are faint outlines of nostrils and eyes on the terminal. A very similar strap end is recorded as No. 35.9 on page 209 of MacGregor and Bolick (1993).
