Description: | Copper alloyStrap End. Cast flat elongated strap end with two rivet or sewing holes at one, split, end, and tapering to a residual animal snout terminal at the other. One face bears a decorative field bearing a slightly raised border rib and six parallel diagonal ribs confined within it. Given the form of the object, the latter may be relict traces of a decorative strap-work interlace. The use of this formulaic decoration may indicate an Anglo-Scandinavian date. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1000.Length: 52.75mm, Width: 10.78mm, Thickness (at centre): 1.57mm, Weight: 4.60gms.
