Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end dating from the Early-Medieval period, of Thomas's class A type 1 (Trewhiddle style). Traces of niello survive on the background of the central panel. Two fixing holes also remain at the attachment end; below these is a palmette, and then a very nicely modelled Trewhiddle-style animal with speckled body. The closed end is a zoomorphic terminal. It has a length of 42.08mm, width 14.11mm, thickness 2.41mm, weight 5.86g. For reference see The Finds Research Group AD700-1700, datasheets 25-40, no 32 p. 2-3. It dates from the 9th century.
