Description: | Corroded cast copper-alloy early medieval strap end probably dating from the late 8th to early 10th century. The item falls within the broad Thomas classification of Class A it being a strap end with split end and convex sides. Due to wear and corrosion it is not possible to determine whether it had a zoomorphic terminal typical of this class. It falls into the Thomas sub-category: 'Type 2: Patterned'. The reverse is plain and the decoration on the upper surface consists of very simple cross-hatching. The item is bent at the terminal end. Length 31.14mm to bend + 8.98mm, width 6.68mm at top, thickness 2.29mm, weight 3.04g
