Description: | A broken copper-alloy Anglo-saxon strap end of Thomas' A type. The strap end is 32 mm in length and 14 mm wide at its widest, where it has broken, tapering to 5 mm wide at its terminal end. Its attachment end is missing. The terminal end is stylised animal headed in design, and two curving ears are apparent just below the strap end's central field. The central field design consists of a cross with flared arms. The reverse of the item is undecorated. The surface of the strap end appears to have been treated with niello. This item probably dates from the 9th to the 10th centuries. | 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
