An early-medieval copper-alloy strap-end, tentatively classified as Thomas's (2003, 4) Class A, Type 4 (with enamel). This would date the artefact to around the 9th century.

The neck is long and the head is set at roughly right angles to it, but flares out to more like forty-five degrees at the top. On the outer edge of the curve is a three-pointed protrusion, suggesting a crest; this is slightly recessed. At the end of the head is an angled point (at forty-five de…
