Title
Early medieval zoomorphic strap end
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy zoomorphic strap end dating to the early medieval (late Anglo-Saxon) period. The object is tongue-shaped in plan and rectangular and slightly convex in section. At the upper end the plate bifurcates. Each plate possesses two circular perforations. One is filled with a small circular-section copper-alloy rivet. The lower end of the object tapers to form a rounded terminal in the form of a moulded animal head. The upper surface of the object is decorated with an incised sub-rectangular field enclosing a stylised zoomorphic motif. Above this is a zone containing an incised saltire cross. The underside of the strap end is plain. The strap end measures 31mm in length, is a maximum of 10mm wide and has a maximum thickness of 3mm. The two circular perforations each measure 1mm in diameter. The strap end weighs 1.76 g..
