Description: | The strap end is an elongated trapezoidal shape in plan. The narrow end is the terminal of the strap end where the strap is mounted. The terminal forms a two plates when viewed from the side profile. There are two rivet holes at this terminal, one has the rivet remaining. The opposite terminal has a broken edge which is not recent. Each corner of this terminal is a rivet hole, one rivet hole is incomplete. The upper surface of the strap end has an incised decoration. The decoration at the narrow terminal has a sub-semi-circular shape. The body of the decoration is a central block which is sub-trapezoidal shape in plan. The detail of this decoration is a 'Y' ribbed shape with geometric details in the field. The item appears to have been a tongue shaped strap end (Gabor Thomas: Type A) which broken and was altered to become a mount with the addition of two rivet holes. | 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: | 775
