Description: | Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy strap end, 36mm long, 11mm wide and 2mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 3.64 grams. The object is roughly rectangular with slightly bulging sides. The object begins with a triangular form which represents the head of an animal and contains faint traces of circular eyes. This is seperated from the main body by a horizontal incised line. Above this are two rectangular sylised ears, the upper edges of which are marked by two curved incisions. The main body is decorated with an incised border which contains a rectangle of incised interlace which has been roughly executed. Above this is a single, central copper alloy rivet. It also has an iron rivet placed below the copper alloy one and over the decoration, which has corroded. The object is missing its upper edge and has a large patch of iron corrosion adherring to its reverse. Below this the reverse contains an area of silvering, which is possibly solder as it would have been hidden when the object was intact. | 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: | 850
