Description: | This is an incomplete, cast, copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon strap-end from the 10th-11th centuries AD. The object is lancet, or tongue-shaped, and in style it is similar to the Type 1 (Winchester) and Type 2 (Anthropomorphic) styles, with openwork decoration comprising a symmetrical arrangement of circular holes. However, this example is not in sufficiently good condition to allow recognition of the detail of the decoration, if it ever had any. Given the overall appearance and style, it may be classified as a "Thomas Class ??E??" of AD900 ?? 1100.
The surface is heavily corroded and the strap-end is broken at both the terminal and fixing ends. | Subjects: | Class E Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
