Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper alloy strap end (9th century). The strap end is a Class A type with an open end, convex sides and zoomorphic terminal (Thomas 2003:2). There is some damage and the edges of the open end are missing. Within the central panel is carved decoration with inlaid niello. The decoration is curvilinear and possibly Trewhiddle style; corrosion obscures the details. Patchy green patina with a layer of a white substance concreted to the surface.
Dimensions: length: 39.59mm; width: 13.13mm; thickness: 3.92mm; weight: 5.53g.
