Description: | Early medieval zoomorphic strap end, 38mm long, 10mm wide and 6mm thick with a weight of 5.88grams.The object is rectangular in form and cross section and is very worn. It has a rounded lower end which shows traces of a zoomorphic terminal with rounded ears. There are two linear transverse depressions either side of the ears along its sides, possibly a third on one side. It also has a hint of two or three slightly diagonal raised lines running across the centre of the upper surface, though because of the wear this is hard to confirm. The object widens out to a triangular terminal and splits into two plates with a small rectangular projection in the centre, probably formed by the loss of metal surrounding two circular fixing holes.The form and decoration suggests Thomas class B1 or poss B4?
