Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end of middle to late Early-medieval date. This strap-end is of slightly unusual form and is probably best categorised as a Thomas type A variant (2003, p. 2-6).
The artefact is unusually small and narrow. It has parallel sides and a rounded terminal, lacking the typical zoomorphic head decoration. The central panel is heavily worn but bears traces of a decorative panel, possibly containing an interlace pattern. The attachment end is vertically split, has the remnants of two rivet/sewing holes and is missing its upper edge.
The object measures 31.5mm long, 5.9mm wide and 2.6mm thick. The weight is 2.11g. | Subjects: | Thomas type A variant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
