Title
Early medieval strap-end (front, reverse)
Description
English: Cast copper-alloy strap-end. Early Medieval (c.9th C). Mass: 8.0g; length: 51.5mm; width: 14.7mm. The strap-end has a slightly incomplete split end at the top, a convex-sided plate and a prominent zoomorphic terminal. There are two copper-alloy rivets to hold the strap at the top of the split end. There are two further rivets in a vertical line in the split end. These secure the rear section of the split end, in which there is a clear break - so the strap end was repaired. The median section of the plate is decorated with two animals facing upwards, one to either side, and there is palmette-derived sub-triangular design at the top. A ?niello inlay remains in parts within the recessed designs on the front of the strap-end. The object has a well developed green patina. This is a Thomas Class A, Type 1 Trewhiddle style strap-end (see Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age Strap Ends 750-1100,Part I, 2003, p.2). Thomas (ibid.) comments that the Trewhiddle style is a classic 9th C trait, although the origins and production of class A strap ends may stretch from the 8th to the 10th centuries.
