Description: | Early Medieval cast copper alloy strap end of Thomas's Type B, dating from the late 8th century to the end of the 11th century. The strapend is fairly thick, with a triangular shaped attachment end tapering into a long, rectangular terminal. There is an incised line bordering the attachment end, and the terminal is decorated with transverse lines. The reverse of the strapend is undecorated. Two copper alloy rivets survive on the attachment end, one in each of the upper two corners. The artefact has a dull dark brown patina. It is 37.82mm long, 9.93mm wide and 4.24mm thick. | 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
