Description: | Anglo-Saxon copper alloy strap end, with zoomorphic terminal in the form of a stylised animal head. The front of the strap end is also decorated with an incised band of chevrons running lengthwise down its middle. The strap end is solid for most of its length, but divides into two plates where the strap would have been attached. The strap would have been sandwiched between these plates, and secured by two circular rivets, now missing. This is an example of Thomas's Class A, datable to between about 775-1000 AD. | Subjects: | Thomas Class A Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
