Description: | A copper-alloy very corroded unidentified object. It is 38mm in length and 10mm in width at its widest end, which is incomplete due to an old break, it is 2mm thick and tapers to a point at its terminal. No decoration can be seen on either face. It is possible that this object may have been part of a strap end of Anglo-Saxon date, due to its shape which is especially reminiscent of Gabor Thomas's type A, which had an animal head terminal and is dated to between the 9th and 10th centuries. However, due to the corroded nature of the objct it is not possible to identify what it may have been with any certainty. | Subjects: | Strap end | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
