Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end. The strap end is corroded but features of the zoomorphic snout are still just about visible. The opposite end of the strap end consists of a latitudinal split in the metal where a leather strap would have fitted into and been secured with two rivets (now missing). This is quite a plain style of strap end, with no visible decoration on the 'back' of the creature. Strap-ends of this sort date to c. 9th Century AD.
