Description: | An elaborate late Saxon copper alloy strap end, Thomas type A or K. The strap-end has a lozengiform body and a split attachment end containing two rivet holes. The body is decroated with chip-carved motif of a beast in profile to the left (i.e. facing towards the terminal). Traces of niello survive in the recessed panel. The terminal is in the form of an animal head. The ears are scroll-like, and the sides of the face are convex. The eyes are depicted by annulets.
