Description: | A bronze, two-piece strap end consisting of a looped plate and open-worked terminal, which is best paralleled on Late Saxon Winchester style objects.
The looped plate is U-shaped, made of a flat strip of bronze. The loop is narrower in width than the rest of the strip. The outer face of the plate is decorated with in incised X, the ends of which reach the corners. Each corner also has a bronze rivent. The quarters of the X were also decorated, but are now too worn to determine the detail.
The terminal is convex in section and sub-triangular in plan. An undecorated bar runs through the hoop of the plate. The rest of the terminal is decorated in openwork scroll or floral motif. The tip of the terminal has a small, flattened-circular knob set perpendicular to the terminal. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
