Description: | Cast copper-alloy strap-end; Hinton 1996, Type D; Thomas Type B. The attachment end is triangular and split and there are two rivet holes. The upper edge is slightly undulating, being convex on either side of the centre which recesses slightly. At the base of the split is a shallow horizontal moulding which runs around the front and sides. The rectangular-sectioned shank is plain and tapers slightly to a vestigial animal-mask terminal with a moulded horizontal ridge running around the front and sides immediately above the animal?s head. The terminal depicts a snout and eye area; the horizontal moulding above may be intended to represent the ears. Very worn. Patchy dark brown/mid-green dull patins. Bent.
