Description: | Incomplete, worn, pitted and missing all its original patina, copper alloy Middle/ Late Early-Medieval strap end.
It is roughly triangular in shape, its open end narrowing from 10mm in width to a point over a length of 51.5mm. It initially narrows to 7mm over 15mm then becomes more rectangular in shape, pointing inwards c.9mm from the end. The surface is extrememly worn, but the final 9mm long point appears to be rounder in section (D-shaped) and separated ?possibly by a band from the rest of the strap end. ??Perhaps an animal head.
The split end has two rivet holes, now so worn only half the hole survives. The gap for the strap at this point is c.1mm wide. The strap end is 2mm thick at the open end, 3mm thick at the rectangular part and c.2.5mm thick at the pointed end. | 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: | 720
