Description: | A copper alloy Early Medieval strap end, of Thomas's Class A1. The strap end is a pointed oval shape with a very worn zoomorphic terminal at the closed end and a split attachment end. The central panel is filled with a Trewhiddle style animal on a ground of niello. There is a worn palmette motif at the attachment end and two rivet holes, across which the front plate has broken. Slightly more of the back plate is missing. The strap end dates from the 9th or 10th century. Compare SWYOR-81ABD2.
