Description: | Copper alloyPossible Strap End fragment. Cast flat plate bearing nine ring and dot scattered across its display face. The object was probably oval-ended - both the curved sides appear - and tapered towards one end; a concave edge hints at a more complex form at the other end. A crudely incised graffito on the reverse represents the laying out of a scheme of interlace ornament; this included a central rhomboid flanked by ovals, with paired stalks flanking the lozenge and defining U-shaped fields surrounding the ovals. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 800-1000.Length: 23mm, Width: 17.4mm, Thickness: 1.7mm, Weight: 2.57gms.
