Description: | Copper alloyStrap End. Cast strap end made by folding a long strip lengthwise at its mid point. One end only - now the display face - bears moulded decoration comprising four low transverse ribs in relief and a rounded terminal. A rivet of burred diameter 2mm and shank diameter 1.5mm passes through the centre of the rounded terminal where the plates are splayed, indicating their former attachment to a strap of thickness 1.5mm. The back of the strap end may bear faint traces of curvilinear interlace ornament, a feature which eluded this reporter at his initial examination of the object, but which was discerned during preparation of the photographic record. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 700-850, probably in the earlier part of that range.Length: 30.7mm, Width: 6.2mm, Thickness (overall): 3.6mm, Weight (with some trapped soil): 2.42gms.
