Description: | This is a 9th century copper alloy strap end. The design on the main plate is a geometric style of a cross formed from four arches, with hollow ovals in the centre; to the rear are three opposing triangles. The rear is slotted to accommodate the strap with two rivet holes for attachment. The front of the strap end is truncated. This style of dividing an area into equal fields is typical of the Trewhiddle style and makes this a Thomas class A, type 1 strap end which dates it from the late 9th- 10th century.
