An early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, dating from the 9th to 10th century AD The object is generally rectangular. At one end there is a rectangular attachment element, now damaged.

This section, beneath the semi-circular upper element, has an incised border along the edges, and the edges are damaged. It is likely that there would have been openwork decoration in the section, the outer edges of which have been broken …

The upper edge is damaged and there are two copper alloy rivets arranged laterally close to the upper edge which join the two plates together. Beneath this the plates join. The middle section expands to the sides, which form two moulded semi-circular projections, while the centre is comprised of openwork decoration. In the centre there is a waisted logitudinal element.
