Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Early Medieval Anglo Saxon strap end. The strap end is now curved along its long axis and the surface is badly eroded leaving the decoration standing proud. The front of the strap end is divided into panels with the main field being masked by two overlapping curves filled with billeted pattern. The strap end terminates with a devolved animal head and on the upper attachment end are two rivet holes. The lower edge of the reverse bears traces of iron corrosion. The length is 38.3mm, the width is 8.6mm, the thickness is 1.4mm and the weight is 2.58g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
