Description: | A worn but complete copper-alloy Gabor Thomas type A strap end, circa 900-1000 AD in date. This strap end measures 39.7mm in length and 11.1mm in width. The attachement end is split and has a central circular rivet hole. The strap end tapers towards a zoomorphic terminal which is the shape of a mouse or bat like head. The front face of the strap end is decorated with an incised quatrefoil in its centre and the animal head has moulded rounded ears and grooves define them further. There were probably originally grooves representing the eyes too but there is too much wear for these or any other features of the face of the animal to be visible. | 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: | 900
