Description: | Late Saxon lower end of outside edge of a tongue-shaped strap-end of Thomas 2004 Class E Type 2 depicting in relief on one face only a bizarre figure set in foliage. There are shallow hollow mouldings on the reverse. Two openwork apertures and the parts of two others are extant. On both sides a pair of rounded mouldings, representing foliage, both include deep blind holes, probably drilled. A rounded terminal with small central lobe is decorated with six similar holes, each surrounded by a moulded ring. Length >26mm. Width 22mm. This variation of Class E Type 2 is well represented by a complete example from Colkirk (HER 30016). 10th ? 11th century. | 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: | 900
