Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or mount of the late Early Medieval period, c. 1000-1100.The strap mount has a zoomorphic body of a stylized dog or horse face, in which the rounded and slightly upturned snout hold a circular tab with a central perforation. The eyes are indicated by incised pointed ovals with an incised collar just below a pair of pointed ears. From between the ears a hooked shank emerges, the base of which has a swelling and circular perforation. The hook is incomplete, but the curvature of the shank remains to indicate its former presence.
