A silver tongue-shaped composite strap-end. The outer sheet plates are soldered to the spacer, which terminates in an acorn knop, the cup of which is decorated with (rather abraded) stamped annulets. One prong of the spacer is now detached, and there is some damage to the sides of the plates, which taper in straight lines towards the knop.

Middle to Late Anglo-Saxon silver strap-end. Most is missing, with a transverse break across the tapering plate leaving only a tiny section of the main decorative panel, which depicts foliate Trewhiddle-style tendrils. The animal-head terminal has circular ears, each with a crescentic groove. Below the ears it is chamfered to either side to form the snout; within these chamfers are two small blind holes for eyes. Between the chamfers is a roughly lozengiform panel whose upper point extends up between the ears to end in a small circle. This panel is decorated with a decayed niello inla…
