Description: | Cast copper alloy Early Medieval strap end, 9th- 10th century in date.Thomas Class A, it has a split end, is convex sided and has a slightly raised zoomorphic terminal. It is worn and corroded on the suface so any possible decoration on the body is difficult to define. It is likely to be a plain variant. File marks are visible on the reverse. The zoomorphic terminal is also very worn and eyes and ears are difficult to define. At the split end there are two circular holes for rivets to attach the strap end, and the edge of the strap end has been shaped to surruond the rivet holes, with a V-shape in the centre. The rivets are not present.
