Description: | A late Saxon lead strap-end of Thomas Type A (circa 800-900). The strap-end is tongue-shaped, though most of the surface is worn. Two irregular rivet holes are located at the attachment end; this end is wedge-shaped in section rather than being split into two plates. The main body of the strap-end is slightly raised and appears to bear a decoration, though this is too worn to determine. The terminal tapers to a narrow animal-head; two curved lines are visible, representing the eyebrows or ears of the beast.Lead strap-ends of this type are unusual; a parallel comes from 'near Driffield': FAKL-8C2206
