Description: | An Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy strap end of Gabor Thomas' type A, dated to between the late 8th century and the end of the 10th century (Geake 2001, illustration 11). It is roughly rectangular in shape with a swollen middle and a tapering terminal, measuring 42mm in length and 11mm in width, at its widest point. The terminal is moulded and decorated to resemble an animals head with a tapering snout. Above this head the rest of the front face is decorated with a panel of cross-hatched grooves and a transverse zig-zag. At the attachment end the remains of two rivet holes are visible. The tip of the attachment end is worn and missing, either due to wear or to an old break. The back face is undecorated. | 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: | 760
