Description: | Copper alloy Anglo-Scandinavian strap-end. According to Thomas, this strap-end is Class B, Type 1. The strap-end has a split end and is parallel sided. The strap-end is decorated with two bands of three parallel transverse grooves located at the top and bottom of the central shaft. The split end of the strap-end where it would be attached to the belt is wedge shaped and has the remains of a single central iron rivet. The shaft tapers slightly to a stylised zoomorphic terminal. The strap-end weighs 3.37g and measures 32.5mm in length, 5.6mm in width and 4.33mm in thickness.
According to Thomas (2003) examples from stratified contexts suggest that this type was introduced during the late 8th ? early 9th century and continued into the 11th century. They are more commonly found in southern and south-eastern England. A similar parallel can be seen in ?Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age strap-ends 750-1100, Part 1 ? Datasheet 32? by Gabor Thomas, Fig.2, No.13. A further example of this type can be seen in ?Anglian and other finds from Fishergate? by N rogers, Fig.652, No.5318. | 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
