Early Medieval silver strap end
Silver strap end with incised designs, surviving traces indicate that the ground was originally nielloed. The sides of the strap-end are of slightly convex form, and the border is notched to form a beaded band. The split attachment end has two circular rivet holes, below which is a centrally placed, incised, trilobate palmette motif. There is a centrally placed panel of interlace. The strap-end terminates in a stylised animal head which has oval ears; lunate incisions around dots represent the eyes; there is a trilobate palmette motif on the forehead below the ears. The back is plain. The strap-end reflects an abstract aspect of the Trewhiddle style of Anglo-Saxon ornamental metalwork of the 9th century.
