Description: | The upper part of a Late Saxon tongue-shaped openwork relief-decorated strap-end of Thomas 2004 Class E Type 2. The attachment edge is recessed for a (missing) bar. between two rivets, that would have secured the strap and bar, are two small blind holes. The arrangement of apertures around the anthropomorphic figure with raised arms is not entirely symmetrical because casting has not allowed one next to the figure's head to penetrate to the rear. The surface of the figure is highlighted with several punched ring-and-dots. The central parts of the reverse of the figure are jaggedly hollowed, perhaps again because poor casting. Purplish surfaced metal. Length >38mm. Width 29mm. 10th - 11th century.
