Description: | Early 11th Century Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy, cast, tubular, open-work, 'socketed hook' (Length 44mm). Once with a hook terminal that connected it into a disc shaped element with at least two other similar fittings forming a three way strap junction. Very worn surface but the faint remnant of a possible concentric square moulded decoration on the 'head' and with a scalloped upper surface. The central section is slightly curved as a result of being crudely cast or possibly distorted under strain during use. The curved tip of the hook broken away in antiquity.
