Description: | Incomplete Late Saxon/Medieval copper alloy strap-end of Thomas (2004) Class G, upper part missing. Worn and corroded purplish metal, openwork asymmetrical figure-of-eight with, at the break, a stylised animal head gripping the upper edge of the slightly larger upper loop its mouth. There are traces of cast knot-like interlace at the junction between the two loops, and an S-shaped moulding on one side of the lower loop. The Urnes-style decoration suggests a date in the second half of the 11th century. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
