Description: | a complete copper alloy Late Anglo-Saxon to Viking-Age strap end. It is a Gabor Thomas Class A type 2 patterned, measuring 37.48mm in length and 11.11mm in width. It weighs 4.17g. From the split end, the sides are slightly convex before tapering to the animal head terminal. There is a pronounced bar (the snout) at the terminal with two square-shaped eyes 12mm from it. From the eyes to the split end the edges are outlined with a single incised line and notched decoration. In the centre there is a rectangular panel designed for infill, now missing, and there are patches of corrosion, and of white metal or solder within. At the split end is a single rivet in situ, with an incised line decoration around it, including two 'V' shapes, similar to the pattern shown on Thomas' Datasheet 32, no. 5. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
