Description: | An Anglo-Saxon strap-end of Thomas type A. The strap-end is elongated and decorated with a crude linear decoration on the body suggestive of a 'cottage-industry' product. The attachment end is missing. The body is decorated with a hatched rectangular panel with a row of crudely incised crescents to either side. The terminal is in the form of an abstract animal-head and represented by four incised crescents. Silvering is visible on the reverse. A ninth-century date is likely for this item.The strap-end is closely paralleled by one from South Newbald (Leahy, K. 2000. 'Middle Anglo-Saxon Metalwork from South Newbald', in Geake, H. and Kenny, J. Early Deira: Archaeological Studies of the East Riding in the fourth to ninth centuries AD. Oxbow Books, page 57, fig. 6.3.4..
