Title
Early-medieval : Strap End
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end of early-medieval date. The strap end is of Thomas' Class B, Type 5 with zoomorphic terminal. The strap end is triangular in shape with a zoomorphic terminal at the closed end and flat terminal at the attachment end. The strap end is cast in one piece but the attachment end is split into an upper and lower plate to allow the strap material to be fitted in between. The upper plate no longer survives having been lost to an old break and one corner of the bottom plate also no longer survives. One rivet hole for attachment survives on the lower plate though it has stretched to become teardrop shaped.

The zoomorphic terminal is very worn rendering any decorative elements indiscernible. The front panel is decorated with an interlaced design of four strands within an incised border. The reverse of the strap end is flat and undecorated.
The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The strap end is 50.1mm long, 14.3mm wide, 2.6mm thick and weighs 6.8g.
This strap end most probably dates from the 9th century.

A similar example can be seen in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, p.73, pl.9, no.331.
