Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of Gabor Thomas's typology type A. The strap-end is 32mm in length and 12mm in width it is incomplete at the terminal end due to an old break. It is an elongated oval-shape and at the attachment end has two parallel circular projecting attachment holes, one of which is half-missing. Decoration of a pattern of longditudinal lines and semi-circles can be seen clearly on one side and traces of gilding remain on both sides. The terminal end, which is missing, is likely to have been an animal head. This strap-end is late Anglo-Saxon, dating to the 9th century.
