A zoomorphic composite strap end made of copper alloy. The strap end is cast, terminating in a dragon or lizard type creature on the front, with a raised design for the head outline, eyes and nose with two knops either side extending outwards. The neck of the creature forms the attachment part of the strap end. It is 31.8 mm in length, 10.4 mm in width and 7.6 mm in thickness, it weighs 8.1 grams. Unlike other strap ends of this date, the attachment part of the strap end bears no other zoomorphic detail. The reverse bears the rivet and is flat along the length of the strap end. The strap end appears to be complete; although it is possible the knops extending from the nose may have been broken as one knop is slightly longer than the other, this could also be down to wear. The surface is slightly worn and the zoomorphic detail is still clear. It has a mid brownish-green patina and comprises of the main strap end body and one rivet which is still in place. The strap end dates to the early-medieval to the medieval period, circa 800 - 1200.
