Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo-Scandinavian strap end of Thomas Class A type 1 or Haldenby's Group 8. The strap end is broadly oval in plan with a narrowed and simplified zoomorphic snout. Only the upper face has decoration which consists of symmetrical scrolling motifs and abstract ribbons representing foliage. There are three pairs of circular holes down the body of the strap end, while two rivet holes at the split-end rear terminal are incomplete. This strap end dates from the 8th or 9th century AD.
