Description: | One sheet plate, transversely bent through 90 degrees, from an Early Saxon two-piece tongue-shaped strap end, with two rivet holes. There are traces of white-metal coating (tinning or silvering) or solder on one face near the outside edge. Most strap ends of this type have only one rivet, near the attachment edge and their two plates are secured at the outside edge by solder. It may be significant that here the second rivet hole is smaller, and may perhaps be secondary. This is a large example. Length 63mm. Width 8.2mm. Thickness 0.5mm. 6th century.
