A cast copper-alloy strap end of the 9th-10th century.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
The strap end fits Thomas' class A type 2 strap end, with a split end, tapering plate, and zoomorphic terminal, with patterned decoration. This example is very worn, with details of the zoomorphic terminal missing, and the split end incomplete, though still a recognizably split end. The patterned decoration is also worn, but consists of two or three distinct areas of decoration on the body. Near the terminal, a linear depression in the centre is flanked by five or six short transverse depressions. Above this is a second decorated area that may be the same as the split panels closer to the split end of the strap end, but it is uncertain due to wear and corrosion.<\/p>
