Description: | A complete but very worn copper-alloy Early-Medieval strap end of G Thomas Class A.It is flat. The attachment end is split and contains two separately cast copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads. The front face of the attachment end is possibly decorated with a fan shaped motif but it is now too worn to be certain. Beneath this is a rectangular recessed panel. The terminal is zoomorphic, consisting of two adjacent protruding large oval ears and a rectangular forehead and snout. The back face is undecorated.This strap end measures 33.55mm in length, 9.73mm in width, 2.37mm in thickness, 2.95g in weight.This strap end falls into Thomas' Class A Saxon strap ends, its precise subgroup uncertain due to the preservation of the object. This indicates a probable 9th century AD date for the object. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
