A late Saxon strap end. The strap end is tongue shaped but missing its attachment end. The body is openwork and the reserved metal depicts what are probably two elongated beasts shown in profile with tail swirling back on itself. This motif is visible on both sides. The strap end has a green-reddish patina.
