Description: | An Anglo-Saxon strap end, Thomas type B. The strap end is made of one piece of cast copper-alloy. This strap end dates to the 8th - 11th century. The strap end has a wide attachment end, which is undecorated. Two rivet holes have been drilled into the open end, both rivets survive but one is broken. The strap end then tapers to a collar. Below the collar the strap end then gets thinner, with a rectangular section and terminates with a rounded rectangular knop. The reverse of the strap end is flat and undecorated. The metal is mid greyish-green in colour and is pitted.
