Description: | Fragment of a medieval gilt strap-end of unusual form, with an animal head terminal on the pointed bottom end of the triangular plate, and two attachment holes in a vertical line, the bottom one still retaining a rivet. Backplate missing and upper edge damaged. Measures 31 mm long, 13 mm maximum width at the top and 5 mm minimum width at the bottom end. Similar strap ends from NHER 31587 (Ashill) and NHER 34589 (Carleton Rode) have animal head terminals but are of a different shape, although the one from NHER 31587 (Ashill) also has the holes lined up vertically. An example of a similar triangular shape is NMS-BFF530 but this differs in other details. Dates to the 12th century.
