Title
early medieval Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy strap end
Description
English: Early Medieval Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy strap end dating probably 9th century AD probably Thomas Class A type 2. The strap end is sub-rectangular, decorated with 2 circles formed by raised pellets with radiating pellets and one central pellet. There are two circular rivet holes for attachment, but the copper alloy rivets are missing. The terminal is sub-rounded and maybe zoomorphic. The mottling on the surface indicates that it was probably originally gilded. Length 42mm, width 10mm. Shares similarities with ESS-339C67, NMS-44E085, YORYM-F8E644 and ESS-D4C2F5 on the database. Examples of class A strap ends are illustrated in the Finds Research Group Data sheet 32. Here Thomas notes that type 2 strap ends dominate the 'cheaper end' of the strap end market and encompass a range of curvilinear and geometric designs often in combination with the animal-head terminal.
