Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end, of Gabor Thomas's type A. The attachment end survives, it is rectangular in shape and 15mm in length and 10mm in width. There are two circular attachment holes near to the attachment edge, one of which is incomplete. The front face is decorated with niello, in a triangle beneath the attachment holes and as a boarder below this. This strap-end is Anglo-Saxon and 9th century in date, and would probably have had an animal head terminal when complete. | 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: | 800
