Title
9th Century Strap end
Description
English: Copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon strap-end of Thomas Class A, Type 1. Two copper-alloy rivets survive. The strap-end is decorated with an incised triangle next to the rivets, and then has a beast in the centre. The terminal would originally have had a animal head, but unfortunately this has broken off leaving just the ears. The break is very worn. The reverse of the artefact is completely undecorated. The metal has a dark brownish-green patina. The strap-end is 34.86mm in length, 13.81mm in width and 2.57mm thick (the width measurement was taken from the widest part of the strap-end, close to the rivets).

Thomas's Type A is the characteristic 9th-century strap-end with animal head terminal, and Type A1 is the sub-set of these with animal decoration in the central panel.
