Description: | An incomplete worn and corroded Early Medieval copper alloy strap end of Thomas Class B type 1. The object is essentially rectangular in plan that widens in a taper towards the attachment end. The attachment end is broken just at the point where the fixing rivets would have been located as the half-circle remains of one can just be seen on the broken edge. The wider attachment end is split horizontally parallel with the face of the strap end. The narrower terminal end of the strap end is very worn but there look to be faint traces of decoration that would be typical for strap ends of this type. The object dates from the Middle to late Anglo-Saxon period circa 800-900 AD. It measures 42.26 mm long, 6.35-9.12 mm wide, 1.73-2.29 mm thick and weighs 2.72 grams.
