English: Anglo-Saxon silver strap end, 28mm long, 10mm wide and 4mm thick (at widest point). The strap-end has convex long sides, a flattish rectangular cross-section, and is missing its terminal in what appears to be a recent break. Its upper attachment end is split to receive the strap, and is shaped around two circular rivet holes, both now empty. Below this is a fan-shaped sunken field with a reserved tri-lobed motif within; the central lobe is round-ended but the two outer lobes have W-shaped nicks in their outer edges giving them a drooping shape. Below this is the main panel of decoration, which is shaped to fit the curved edges of the strap-end. The panel is engraved around a reserved Trewhiddle-style animal in profile, with its head towards the attachment end; it appears to be the right way up when the strap-end is held with the attachment end to the right.

The animal has a blunt square nose, open mouth, slender pointed lower jaw and a prominent brow ridge with small dot eye. There are three V-shaped nicks below the top of the neck, and a triangular flaring ear above. The animal's neck then swells, with a group of two then a group of three V-shaped nicks below and a single group of three above. Perhaps this is actually the animal's body, as it then tapers again to a strand that curves down to a rectangular element just above the terminal. This has pairs of V-shaped nicks to either side. Another strand emerges from this rectangular block, curves and interlaces around the animal and ends in a long, large triangular element decorated with an L-shaped groove - perhaps a tail. A final element, apparently detached but perhaps a leg, interlaces with itself and the upper neck and has a triangular lobe with pairs of double nicks before ending in a smaller rounded lobe.

The lower engraved parts of the central field are keyed for niello, which is visible under a microscope in patches along the edge of the beast, particularly the main body. It is likely that the fan-shaped motif was also originally nielloed, though there is no sign of it now. There is a frame all around the central field, with traces of fine ladder-pattern grooves down either long edge, but these appear to stop abruptly about one third of the way down, so are more likely to have never been added than to have worn off.

The lower edge of the frame is shaped around the ears of an animal-head terminal which is largely missing. Only the upper curve of two large rounded ears survives. The reverse is undecorated, and has several oblique scrapes and scratches.

The Trewhiddle-style decoration is well executed, and dates the strap-end to the 9th century AD. It falls into Thomas's Class A, Type 1 (Trewhiddle Style).
