Description: | An incomplete early medieval cast copper alloy strap end belonging to Thomas' Class A, type 2.Approximately 60% present, what is liekly to have been a zoomorphic terminal is missing. The strap end tapers slightly towards the straight, split end and two closely set rivet holes for attachment. The rivets remain in place and are square and raised on the front, but circular and set flush against the surface on the back. On the body is a rectangular panel containing a multi-strand cross-hatched pattern and some (probably) chip carved cresent shapes along the border. Neillo appears to infill the cresent shapes along one edge, making them hard to define. The strap end has an even dark green patina.
