Description: | A Thomas Type A copper alloy strap end. The hollow at the attachment end is filled with compacted soil. Two rivets survive at the attachment end. Below the rivets is a semicircular panel with a fanned trefoil set in it. A long central panel bears worn animal decoration. The sides of the strap end, flanking the central panel, bear small rectangles. The terminal is decorated with a stylized animal head. Inverse L-shaped horns/ears begin below the central panel and lead to the terminal head. Faint traces of enamalling are present around the rivets and in the central panel. The object is slightly bent from the lower central panel. | 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
