Description: | An Anglo-Saxon strap end, Thomas type B.
The strap end is made of one piece of cast copper-alloy. This strap end dates to the 8th ? 11th century. The strap end has a wide attachment end, which is undecorated. Two rivet holes have been drilled into the open end, both rivets survive but one is broken. The strap end then tapers to a collar. Below the collar the strap end then gets thinner, with a rectangular section and terminates with a rounded rectangular knop. The reverse of the strap end is flat and undecorated. The metal is mid greyish-green in colour and is pitted. | 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: | 700
