Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting, possibly of 11th or 12th century date. The fitting comprises a T-shaped plate, with three iron rivets whic pierce a saltire decoration of multiple strands. Above the plate is a small facing beaked head with bulging eyes. Above the head is an expanding looped terminal. This object appears to be a strap end with a terminal loop for the attachment of a separate hook. The head is similar to many on Class B stirrup-strap mounts which are typically cut off below the nose.
