Title
Early-medieval Thomas Class B, Type 4 strap end
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy early-medieval/Anglo-Saxon/Viking strap end (AD c.800-c.1100), missing its attachment end. Overall, the object measures 34.8mm long, 13.2mm wide and 4.5mm thick. It weighs 6.4g. The strap end has broadly parallel sides and a trapezoidal cross-section. It has a pointed zoomorphic terminal, which is moulded and represents an animal head with large semi-circular eyes and ears. Above the head is a short rectangular shaft with bevelled side edges. This part is decorated with a zigzagged pattern which may represent a snake. Above the shaft is a moulded stylised human or animal head. The strap end is therefore a Thomas (2004) Class B Type 4 strap end (Multi-headed). There is a copper alloy rivet through the zoomorphic terminal which may have been added later, perhaps as a repair.
