Title
Early-medieval strap-end
Description
English: Copper-alloy strap-end, missing its zoomorphic terminal (worn break). The split end is damaged, with one rivet hole broken through on the front half and both on the rear half. Below each rivet hole is a curved groove, almost concentric with the rivet hole, and there is another similar curved groove in the centre below these. Below these three curved lines is a longitudinal groove running down the centre to the break. This divides a pair of back-to-back curved grooves at the top, above two long rectangular panels of decayed whitish material which must represent inlaid decoration. At the bottom, just above the break, two more back-to-back part-circles. There are also hints of grooves down the edges of the strap-end, but the decoration is all very worn and a little hard to decipher. Anglo-Saxon, 9th century AD.
