Title
Anglo-Saxon zoomorphic strap-end
Description
English: A copper-alloy strap-end of middle to late early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date. A Thomas "Type A" strap-end (see ref. 2) dating from the 9th century AD. The attachment end measures 8.2mm wide and is split, with two small circular holes and a double scalloped outer edge. The long sides are slightly convex and converge to a stylised animal head terminal. The squared off snout gives way above to recessed cheeks, which in turn give way to two eyes, represented by small indented semi-circles. Above the eye area is a slightly raised panel containing two upward-pointing indented chevrons separated by a vertical indented line. These chevrons represent the ears of the beast. In the centre of the strap-end, between beaded curved sides, is an irregular interlace pattern with an animal head at the top right hand corner. The reverse of the strap-end is undecorated and has remnants of a silver or lead solder. The object measures 37.1mm long by 8.2mm wide and 3.5mm thick. It weighs 3.20g.
