Description: | An Anglo-Saxon or Anglian strap end (Thomas classification Class B, Type 4). The strap end has been made from a single piece of copper alloy. The attachment end is wide with a rectangular section. The attachment end proper no longer survives, as it is damaged and worn. The main body is narrow with four raised ridges down the centre. The terminal features two wide collars. The terminal proper is triangular and represents a stylised zoomorphic head. The reverse is undecorated. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour. The piece dates from the 9th century - 975.
