Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Early-Medieval strap end of Thomas Class E Type 1. Only the terminal end survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It is tongue-shaped in form, oval sectioned, with a rounded terminal end. The plate has openwork decoration comprising multiple and irregularly spaced circular apertures. It measures 32.55mm in length, 18.34mm in width, 3.08mm in thickness and 7.49g in weight.This is an incomplete strap end of Early-Medieval date. Its form and decoration suggests it is probably stylised or debased Winchester style strap end, and as such probably falls into Thomas' Class E type 1 Early-Medieval strap end group. This would indicate a probable date range in the 10th-11th centuries AD.
