Description: | Incomplete Middle/ Late Early-Medieval copper alloy strap-end of Thomas' Class B Type 1, damaged at the split end across the rivet holes. Its incomplete length is 35.7mm, it is max.9.5mm wide and narrows to 5.6mm at the zoomorphic terminal. It weighs 3.0g.
The strap end is now rather worn and much detail lost. However bulging eyes on the zoomorphic terminal are apparant. There are two pairs of tranverse grooves at either end of the shaft and apparantly two pairs of V-shaped grooves at the sides. The top of the shaft is 6.8mm wide, the bottom 5.3mm. It is 2.8mm thick.
The wedge-shaped end is rather flatter and all detail is lost. Two rivet holes in the open end are now damaged, and on the reverse this damage extends a little beyond the rivet holes.
Thomas comments this type became popular in south and south-eastern England in the latter 8th/ early 9th centuries and remained popular into the 11th. | Subjects: | Thomas' Class B Type 1 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
