Description: | Early Medieval copper alloy strap end, 38mm long, 11mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 2.68grams. The object is a bow sided two piece strap end which has two circular fixing holes in its rounded upper surface. The surface is decorated with a geometric pattern, which begins with a 'fan' shaped motif , whose narrow end sits between the circular holes. Below this are two triangular geometric motifs, at which point the design is obscured. It has a probable animal head terminal, but this is also obscured by damage. The reverse is plain and pitted. The object fits most closely to a Thomas Class A type 2:patterned.
