Description: | Early medieval copper alloy strap end, 40mm long, 6mm wide, 3mm thick. The object has a rectangular form and cross section. It begins with an elongated stylized animal head, with very large rounded ears. Above this the object tapers outwards in width slightly and is plain but has a bevelled edge running most of its length. This terminates at a slightly wider, rectangular shaped terminal, c.10mm long, which is split into two parts to take the strap. The object is damaged here with the rivet holes and upper edge missing. The object fits Thomas class B2, dating it to 850-1100.
