Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon strap end, Thomas type B. The strap end is made of one piece of cast copper-alloy. The strap end has a wide attachment end, which terminates in a double crescent and appears to be decorated with a series of dots, although most have worn away. Two rivet holes have been drilled into the open end, both rivets are present. The strap end then tapers to a rectangular terminus. There is some decoration, and it is possible that it could be a zoomorphic head. The reverse of the strap end is flat and undecorated. The metal is dark green in colour, and is fairly worn. This strap end dates to the 8th - 11th century.36.23mm x 8.36mm x 3.05mm 4.0g
