Title
Early medieval strap end
Description
English: A complete early medieval copper alloy strap end dating from the mid 8th to 9th century, of Thomas Class C. The strap end is split at the attachment end, which is sub-triangular in shape. There are two circular rivet holes in each corner, one of which still has a copper alloy rivet in place. The split is full of white corrosion. The triangular attachment end narrows to a raised collar, below this is a long tapering sub cylindrical shaft. Below the collar the strap end is decorated with an incised cross-hatching, this covers half the shaft. Below this are two incised lines that go round the width of the shaft, these are very worn. The strap end narrows to the terminal end which ends with a knop with a raised collar. It has a dark green patina. The strap end measures 57.6mm in length, 10.7mm at maximum width and 4.3mm in thickness. The strap end weighs 6.60g.

The strap end is similar to Thomas 2003, 6, 20. Simillar examples on the database include LIN-F8E2F5,LIN-9C533E, and WILT-C53F16.
