Description: | Cast copper-alloy two-piece strap-end. Circular, with extended, sub-triangular flat ?knop? from bottom end. The upper-plate is decorated in openwork with a bird standing left with open wings within an sub-oval recess, with leaf-like motifs to either side. The bird?s eyes, feet and plumage details are defined by incised lines. In the horizontal crescentic field below, are the incised letters ?IHC? (monogram for Jesus Christ). The knop has four rows of circular perforations and other shallow mouldings which may represent foliage. A sheet back-plate is secured to the circular part of the front-plate with four copper-alloy rivets; two at the top and two towards the bottom. Edges of the back-plate are damaged, as is one side of the knop. Patchy, dull dark green patina.
