Description: | Approximately half of a worn and incomplete copper-alloy strap end dating to the Early-medieval period. The strap end is probably of Thomas' Class A Type 2, having a zoomorphic terminal snout and (probably) a patterned central panel. Elements of the zoomorphic terminal can be distinguished (eyes, brow) but otherwise the strap end is too worn and fragmentary to make out. Strap ends of this type were at the 'cheaper end of the...market' (Thomas 2003:2), and date from the late 8th to 9th century AD.
