Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper alloy fragment of a strap-end (9th century). This is a Class A strap end with a split end, a curving sides and probably a zoomorphic terminal but the terminal is missing on this example (Thomas 2003). The split end has a central notch to create a bi-lobed edge. There are two rivets (both missing), one in each of the lobes. On the front surface there is a central panel of inlaid niello forming an interwoven pattern. The details of which are indistinct but it appears to be a Trewhiddle design. Dimensions: length 19.22mm; thickness 1.85mm; width 14.04mm; weight 2.75g Reference: Thomas, G. 2003. Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age strap-ends 750-1100: Part 1.
