Description: | Fragment of terminal from a strap-end of Thomas's Class E, Type 1. The fragment is sub-triangular in shape and has an openwork design, with three holes surviving. Two are irregularly shaped, one to either side of a central stem; the lowest hole, in the apex of the triangle, is circular. The breaks indicate that the openwork design continued, as three lobed protrusions survive. These breaks are all worn. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour.Most Class E, Type 1 strap-ends have a central stem that continues to the end of the terminal, but there are a few which have central holes. Compare NMS-1BB8B3, LIN-2BA3B7 and SUSS-083BF6. 10th or 11th century.
