Description: | Incomplete and slightly bent Hiberno-Norse copper alloy strap end of Thomas (2004) Class F. Only the deepest part of the split end is extant. On one face the main body is decorated in counter-relief with a rectangular panel of knotwork. Between this and the animal-head terminal an engraved circle encloses a circle of ladder-like transverse engraved lines, with a small round aperture at the centre (extremely close to ibid. no. 33). On the other face the panel contains a repetetive foliar motif with lozengiform flowers, and in place of the circle there is an engraved cross potent. The sides taper from the split end before expanding around the engraved circle / cross. Cf. examples from North Yorkshire (SWYOR-B557B2) and Northamptonshire (NARC-3835F4). Length more than 42mm. Width 12.5mm. c.950 - c.1050.
