Description: | A complete copper-alloy strap end of Gabor Thomas Class E, type 3 (Thomas 2004, 2-3, fig 4, no 28). Like all Class E strap ends this example is tongue-shaped with roughly a ratio of width to lenght of 2:1, this example measures 28.66mm in length and 15.53mm in width. Type 3 is distinguished by the presence of a median longitudinal rib on the front face. This example has such a rib with a central internal longitudinal groove and and lateral nicks or grooves across it. Either side of the rib there are punched ring-and-dots. There is one empty rivet hole through the centre of the split attachment end.
Gabor Thomas states that the distribution of this type embraces continental discoveries from Domburg, Holland and multiple sites in Scandinavia. Within Britain the spread is polarised between eastern Danelaw and the Irish Sea Region. Itis in use from the late 9th to 11th centuries. | 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
