Description: | Early medieval strap end of Thomas Class B, Type 1, dating from the late 8th to early 10th century AD. The front face has ring-and-dot decoration with twin transverse bands situated approximately halfway down its length. The strap end is broadly in the shape of an elongated triangle. The widest point is just short of the rounded attachment end and from here it tapers in a gradual curve to a slight waist coincident with the transverse bands; at this point it slightly expands again before curving down to finish in a blunt point. The attachment end has two rivet holes set perpendicular to the long axis and is split horizontally in two for approximately a third of the object's length. The strap end measures 39.4 mm long, 9.7 mm wide at the split attachment end; it weighs 2.49 grams.
