Description: | Late Saxon strap-end of Thomas 2004 Class E type 2, depicting in relief on one face only a bizarre figure set in foliage. A separate attachment bar is missing and both rivet holes have ripped through to the attachment edge. Eight openwork apertures, two round, two ear-shaped and two oval, surround the figure whose hair is indicated by oblique moulded grooves and whose facial features are picked out with two dots and a transverse groove. On both sides two blind holes emphasise the foliage. The terminal is rounded. A number of very similar strap-ends have been recorded in Norfolk, with some having a small lobe projecting from the rounded terminal. Length 51.5mm. Width 26mm. 10 ?? 11th century. | Subjects: | Anglo-Scandinavian | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
