Description: | Incomplete cast copper-alloy early medieval strap end probably dating from the late 8th to early 10th century. The item probably falls within the broad Thomas classification of Class A, it being a strap end with convex sides. Due to wear and breakage it is not possible to determine whether it had the split end and zoomorphic terminal which are also typical of this class. It falls into the Thomas sub-category: 'Type 2: Patterned'. The reverse is plain and the decoration on the upper surface consists of very simple cross-hatching.
Dimensions: Length 26.01mm, width at top 8.4mm, 4mm at bottom, thickness 2.39mm, weight 2.14g. | 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: | 750
