This is an interesting strap end. It needs some cleaning, but what is to too obvious from the image is that the strap end carries both silver and gold gilding. The "channels" (don't know the correct wording) have been filled with a silver gild, whilst the central panel and outer edges carry a gold gild.
I have not yet been able to identify the deign in the panel, but hope to with some light cleaning.
The front of the strap end is worn but seems to have "eyes and ears". But will know more when cleaned.
