Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end. The strap end is leaf shaped with a protuding animal head terminal with bulbous snout and protuding eyes. Behind this terminal is an incised design of 2 spirals, possibly representing an animal crest/mane. The central panel is decorated with an incised design of an indecipherable figure within an incised border of linked squares with central dots in the squares. The lines forming this central design are inlaid with an unidentified white substance. The attachment and has 2 circular perforations ca 2.5mm in diameter for attachment, one in each corner. There is an incised spatulate design protuding into the main panel from between these perforations. Underneath the piece is plain, except for the attachment end where it splits into 2 plates, to fit the strap between. The lower plate has broken off. | 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
