Description: | A copper-alloy late early medieval strap end, which appears to have been reused at a later date. Only the terminal end of the original strap end survives, it is rectangular in shape with a rounded end measuring 24mm in length and 23mm in width. The incomplete end is worn and an old break. There is a circular hole through one corner of this end, measuring 3mm in diameter, presumably this is part of the repair and reuse of the strap end. The front face is decorated with a moulded design consisting of two diagonal lines at the incomplete corners and two central vertical lines which meet in a obling shaped protruding boss, five radiating lines then project from the underside of the boss. There are slight traces of annulet indentations on these lower lines. On the reverse there are irregular scratched lines although if these are intentional what is being depicted is unclear. | 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
