Description: | A cast lead object, which appears to be a strap-end. The strap end has been cast as a single piece. It is almost rectangular in shape but tapers slightly towards the un-riveted terminal. Two rivet holes survive at the wider terminal end. Both are now largely filled in with a mixture of soil and lead corrosion product. There is some sort of design on the front of the strap end, but the design is indeterminate. The design resembles the Winchester style of interlacing zoomorphic patterns surrounded by foliage. The reverse of the object is undecorated. The object is fairly corroded and the lead has gone a light whitish-grey colour. This artefact could therefore date from the 9th century through to the later medieval period. | 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
