Description: | Incomplete Late Saxon copper alloy relief-decorated openwork strap end, 'Winchester-style'. Presumably tongue shaped (the ?rounded end missing) with the butt end rebated for the strap. The central of three rivet holes remains intact while the other two are worn through. The decoration is symmetrical and in the form of a central stem with three pairs of tendrils (to the ancient break) extending to left and right, curling underneath at the ends and resting on the leaf below. The lowest leaf ends curl to rest on the butt end. The strap end is very worn and no original patina survives. Its incompelte length is 30mm and its width is 20mm. Cf Biddle 1990 7.ii, fig.125 nos.1060 & 1061 for a similar plant pattern. | 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: | 901
