Description: | Openwork Winchester style strap-end.
It has been cast in copper-alloy, as a single plate. The plate is tongue shaped. The rivet holes and rivets no longer survive, as the upper edge is damaged and broken.
The strap end has been decorated with the Winchester style interlacing zoomorphic patterns, all surrounded by foliage.
The object is fairly corroded. The surface is covered with a greyish-green corrosion.
This object, based on its style, probably dates to around the 9th century - 11th centuries. | Subjects: | Winchester style | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
