Title
Early Medieval Strap End
Description
English: A copper alloy early medieval (AD c.800-c.1000) strap end. Overall, the strap end measures 38mm long and 9mm wide. The strap end is a Thomas (2004) Class B1, distinguished by its zoomorphic terminal, the decorative transverse grooves and its overall shape. The strap end is convex on the obverse and has an animal headed terminal and two pairs of transverse grooves, one immediately behind the head and the other halfway along its length. The strap end narrows in the centre and then expands towards the attachment end. The attachment end divides into front and rear parts between which the strap would have been attached. The corroded remains of the two iron rivets that would have held it in place are still present.
