Description: | Late Saxon copper alloy Winchester style strap-end, rectangular, 17 x 34mm. A split attachment end has two horizontal ribs with oblique notches bordering a rectangular panel on both faces, pierced by two iron rivets. The body of the strap-end is decorated with a cast, chamfered, openwork pattern with central plant stem and tendrils which end in rectangular bosses on the outside edges. This piece is slightly smaller than, although of identical form to, a strap-end from Harling (HER 6033) illustrated in EAA 74 (1995) fig.41, no.75, which was originally thought to be incomplete with terminal missing. However this example and others from Brisley/Beetley (HER 40853), Bracon Ash (34458), Colkirk (30867), Carleton Rode (39938), Little Witchingham (37279), Newton Flotman (32278), Tattersett/Tatterford (32604) and Whissonsett (31800), demonstrate that these strap-ends are complete, although of oddly abbreviated form. 10th century.Referenced in Kershaw (2008, 260; fig. 8)
