Description: | A complex shaped copper alloy strap end. The attachment end is trapezoidal and still has its copper alloy rivet in place. This expands into a diamond shaped terminal, which is decorated with a plaited knot design, outlined in a white deposit that may have been niello. A design continues up the attachment end of the object but the corrosion has made it difficult to decipher. A similar strapend, but with a disciodal terminal, is illustrated in the Ashmolean catalogue (Bolick & Macgregor 1993)This has been suggested to date from the late Saxon period. | Subjects: | strap end | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyrrell, Ros - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
