Title
Early-medieval strap-end
Description
English: Lower fragment of a copper alloy zoomorphic strap-end. Consists of a damaged zoomorphic terminal in the form of an animal's head seen from above, with circular ears and lunate eyes, nose broken away. The lozenge-shaped brow is decorated with an inlaid setting of niello and silver-wire scrollwork. The main plate, which is damaged, retains the remains of three tear-shaped fields also inlaid with settings of niello and silver-wire scrollwork. This strap-end belongs to a local East Anglian variant of the popular series of 9th century strap-end characterised by split attachment ends, convex form and zoomorphic terminals.
