Description: | The find consists of the sub-rectangular central section of a silver strap-end of 9th-century, Anglo-Saxon type with beaded edges and indistinct zoomorphic or interlace decoration; length, 14 mm; weight, 1.0 gram. It is broken across at both ends. The strap-end fragment from Creaton would therefore qualify as Treasure under two of the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act: it is more than 300 years old and the precious metal content exceeds 10%.
