Description: | MS Strap-end, cast with split end pierced by one central rivet hole, the rear of the split missing. Lanceolate, i.e. broadens gently from attachment edge before tapering to pronounced point. The front face is divided into three facets by an arris in the form of a 'Y', as viewed with the split end uppermost. Unusual in not being decorated with transverse mouldings, cf. Hinton Hamwic 1996, no.169/397. No parallel has been noted, but a date in the 8th or 9th cent. seems likely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
