Description: | An almost complete but slightly worn cast copper-alloy Early Medieval Strap End. The tongue-shaped strap end has a split end attachment with a single rivet hole. The front plate is decorated with Urnes Style zoomorphic decoration with two projecting heads, one at the top and another upside down at the bottom. The frontal facing heads are mouse or bat-like in appearance with big rounded eyes and they have interlace between them. The back plate is plain, but the front plate has traces of a white metal coating, probably tinning. The length is 31.2mm, the width is 14.0mm, the thickness at the attachment end is 3.5mm and the weight is 5.44g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
