Description: | A strap-end of uncommon type, bent and distorted, it comprises a sheet folded widthways at a broad terminal (most of the back-part is missing), gilded and decorated in relief with a trefoil between a pair of curled fronds or branches, with an animal-head terminal wrought in low relief on the pointed upper end (now bent forward) of the sub-triangular face which is pierced by three rivet-holes. Cf. discussion/parallels for a similar example from Thornham (HER 41922) in Ashley 2006 (and illustration, Figure 1, no.3). 12th century.
