Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end length 33mm, width 9mm, thickness 3mm, weight 2.2g. Sub-oval shape, the sides are slightly convex and a pointed terminal. The terminal probably had an animal facemask, but all of the detail together with all of the detail on the main body has been removed by corrosion. The attachment end is slotted for the strap, with two rivet holes. The underside is plain. The artefact is heavily corroded resulting in the loss of all detail. This is a Thomas class A which dates it to the late 8th early 10th century Thomas G, 2005, Late Anglo-Saxon & Viking Strap-ends 750-1100 Finds Research Group AD700-1700 Datasheet 32.
