Description: | Copper alloy tongue-shaped mount with two integral, tapering round-sectioned attachment shanks on the reverse. There are signs of white-metal coating on both faces and the sides. On the otherwise flat front face there are four sunken area with uneven bases, one roughly square area at the straight end, one on both sides close by and a much larger, elongated and centrally placed area reaching almost to the rounded end. This object is very similar to one found at Fring in 2003-4 and incorrectly identified as a strap-end (HER 1659). It was in rather fresher condition and gilding remained within the four sunken zones. Length 39mm, width 10.5mm. Thickness 2mm. Length of shank 8mm. Late 5th - 6th century.
