Description: | Fragment of a cast copper-alloy strap-end with openwork decoration. The openwork pattern is worked on both sides. Sub-rectangular with four small projections from one edge, probably the remains of a broken off section. One corner of the decoration is broken off and missing. The openwork design comprises a central plant stem flanked by a pair of confronted or addorsed birds. Dull, patchy green patina with red/brown patches showing through. This is a Winchester-style strap-end (Hinton in Biddle 1990:497-499 no. 1056). | Subjects: | strap-end | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
