Description: | An elongated type A 9th century strapend. Two fixing holes are evident at the broadest end and if viewed from the plain reverse side one hole is twice the diameter of the other. The slit for the strap material to locate is clearly visible. The central rectangular panel is divided into two, each bearing stylised leaf motifs. Some of the spaces between the relief lines retain a blackened surface that could be niello. The elongated zoomorphic head at the tapered end is defined by inset triangular shapes for the ears and relief lines to represent the rest of the face. The raised relief 'nose' has suffered from wear and no detail remains. The reverse is plain. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Kevin Woodward | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
