Description: | A simple zoomorphic Early Medieval cast copper alloy strap end or mount, circa 750-1100 AD.The mount is symmetrical in form, of one solid piece without a split end. It has a possible small rivet, approximately 1.5 mm in diameter, at the attachment end, visible from the reverse side. The mount is 50.3 mm in length, 10.4 mm at the widest point and 8.5 mm at the head of the terminal and weighs 7.8 grams.The strap-end has a series of three lobes on each side, a worn ridged surface and ends in an animal-head terminal. The terminal has an oval knop indicating the neck or head, transverse lines and knops indicating the forehead and eyes and ends in a sub-triangular snout terminal. The underside is plain and flat.This is similar in type to many Gabor Thomas type strap ends dating from this period.
