Description: | An Early-Medieval copper-alloy strap-end.The artefact is of flat section and has outward bowing sides which taper to a pointed base. At the top, the attachment, which would originally have comprised two plates and a central gap, is heavily damaged. There is no trace of any decoration on the body. The thickest part of the strap-end is the heavily worn basal terminal, which takes the form of an outward facing, zoomorphic head. Apart from the moulded ears, located at the top, no other details of this head are visible.Length: 39.7mm; width: 11.7mm; thickness: 2.5mm. Weight: 3.23g.This is a typical example of Gabor Thomas's Class A strap-ends, a group dating from the late 8th to 10th centuries (Thomas 2003: 2).
