Description: | Copper alloyStrap End. Cast zoomorphic strap end with a split belt end where the remains of paired stitching holes are discernible, though the end of the upper half is here lost. The terminal is formed by an unusually strongly defined and protruberant rounded beast snout, with round eyes and oval ears; a bordered panel of balanced interlace ornament extends behind the head. This piece is less formulaic than most of those similar strap ends recorded from Flixborough, North Linconshire, and perhaps more closely related in its appearance to some of those reported from Cottam, East Riding of Yorkshire. Bow slightly curved along its length. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 750-850.Length: 45mm, Width: 13.5mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 5.77gms.
