Description: | A cast copper-alloy Early-Medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian strap end of Thomas' Class E Type 3. The plate is tongue shaped in form with flattened and incomplete split attachment in the centre of which is an incomplete copper alloy rivet. The front face of the plate has a vertical median rib with internal groove and irregular lateral nicks or grooves. To each side of the rib the front face has a vertical band of seven punched ring-and-dot motifs. Between the rivet and the top of the median rib are two more ring-and-dot motifs. The rear of the object is flat and undecorated. The object has a mid-green patina and is in good condition.This is an incomplete Anglo-Saxon strap end. It finds its closest parallels in Thomas' (2004: p. 2) Class E Type 3 strap ends with ribbed decoration. It is of probable 9th-11th century AD date.
