Description: | An Anglo-Saxon or Anglian strap end (Thomas classification Class B). The strap end has been made from one tapering plate of copper alloy. The attachment end has broken, so only the back plate survives. The front plate appears to have been a separate piece. A rivet can still be seen in the back plate. The other terminal of the strap end has a stylised zoomorphic head, now heavily worn. The front plate is not decorated. The reverse is undecorated. The metal is a dark greyish-brown colour. The piece dates from the late 8th century ?? 1100. | Subjects: | Thomas classification Class B | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
