Description: | A copper-alloy strap end it is similar in shape to Type A of Gabor's typology of strap ends, although it is plain and undecorated on both sides, it is likely to be 9th century, middle Anglo-Saxon, in date. It is made from sheet copper-alloy, is almost an elongated lozenge-shape and 44mm in length. The attachment end is 10mm in width it then flares out to 13mm in width before tapering to a point of 4mm in width at the terminal end. At the attachment end, which is M-shaped in plan, there are two parallel rivet holes one in each arch of the M, one has the rivet still present within it. The terminal is 3mm thick,rather than 1 mm thick as is the body of the strap-end, due to an extra layer of copper-alloy 14mm in length. | 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 |
