Description: | An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy strap end dating from about 700 -1100. The fragment is sub rectangular in form and tapers before slightly widening at the broken end. The body is sub rectangular and divides into two plates at the attachment end. This end has been decorated with four rows of three stamped ring-and-dot motifs; the row at the attachment end contains a rivet in place of the central motif. There are two incised lines across the other end. The remains of three equally spaced projections survive at the broken end, suggesting the rest of the strap end was openwork. The reverse is smooth and undecorated. The strap end has a light green and light brown patina. For a strap end with similar motif, please also see PAS record ID: LEIC-338806. Please also see MacGregor and Bolick, A Summary of the Anglo-Saxon Collections, page 208, number 35.1.Length: 20.3mm; Width: 16.3mm; Thickness: 2.9mm; Weight: 3.82g
