Description: | A cast-in-one-piece ampulla shaped strap-end; the section at the attachment edge, which is damaged is roughly square one side of which narrows to form a waist before flaring into a narrow oval, the attachment end is cleft to hold the strap, the outside edge is broken off and missing, it is therefore unclear if there was any terminal knop of if the oval was pointed. There are two C shaped mouldings (one forward one backward) one at either side of the waist highlighted on the obverse of the strap-end by an engraved line at the junction with the waist, the obverse is further decorated by an engraved wavy border line inside which, approximately one third down the centre line of the oval is a moulded ring and dot motif surrounded multiple triangular indentations creating a Sun effect, below this towards the outside edge is an engraved double drop shape with multiple punched pellets at either end. The reverse is plain and well finished. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 300
