Anglo Saxon Strap End - no. 3

Anglo Saxon Strap End

Bronze

3.8cm by 1cm

 

 

Zoomorphic beast head with ears

 

 

Panel design which I cannot identify - I am not good a spotting what the maker intended should be seen in the designs - this one seems to have a white inlay? I will need to be careful during cleaning.

The panel is surrounded by a box type pattern which extends to the terminal end.

The box type design extends to the terminal end.

Two rivets held the strap end in place - one has broken away. One remains intact and judging by the rust was of iron manufacture.

I will need to be careful cleaning this item.

As I have said before, I am open to advice.
