Description: | An elaborate late Saxon copper alloy strap end, Thomas type. The strap-end is tongue-shaped and has two rivet holes at the split attachment end. This end undulates twice around the rivet holes. An incised crescent bounds the rivet holes below, and two further crescents do the same in the interior sides. The body is decorated with five silver rivets, and a sixth is located at the terminal. The terminal is in the form of an animal head and is crudly designed. The ears are depicted by two rectangular panels, and these slope diagonally across the strap-end. The surface at across the snout is convex.
