Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy object. The form of this piece suggests that it is probably a Thomas type A strap-end (see G. Thomas; 2003) of early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. Alternatively, it may be part of a Roman bracelet (possibly snake-form) which has been re-worked to form another artefact. The object is tongue-shaped, expanding to a maximum width one third of the way from the top and then tapering to a point at the bottom. There is no evidence of a split attachment at the top and the only decoration on the upper surface consists of three incised longitudinal lines, one being central, the other two marking the edges. The piece is bent and corroded. It measures 47.8mm long, 9.8mm wide and 1.3mm thick. The weight is 2.8g.
