Description: | A fragment of an Anglo-Saxon or Anglian strap end. The strap end has been made from one tapering plate of copper alloy. The attachment end has broken off, the break is very worn. The other terminal of the strap end possibly has a stylised zoomorphic head, now heavily worn and corroded. The front plate has been decorated but it is badly worn and corroded. The reverse is undecorated. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour. The piece possibly dates from the late 8th century ?? 1000, between circa AD 750 and 1000. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Zuck, Shawna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
