Description: | Incomplete Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy openwork mount partly covered in a thin chalky deposit. The curving edge consists of a series of cusps. In the centre a boss in the form of an animal head facing towards the break is surrounded by three round apertures. The reverse is flat except behind the boss where there is a slight concavity. Two iron rivets lie next to the break, which runs across two more apertures. The animal head with its enormous ears is close in style to those found on strap ends of Thomas' (2003) Class B, Type 4 and on a series of buckles (Rogers 1993, 1347-9, no. 5314). Extant length 18.6mm. Width 22mm. Thickness 6mm. 10th century.No. 2 on annotated map in file.
