Title
Early medieval strap end
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy early medieval strap end (c. 750 - c. 950) missing fragments from its attachment end and the tip of its zoomorphic terminal. The strap end has convex sides and a slit end. Although damaged, the attachment end retains parts of the rivet holes that would have held the strap end to the strap. The front has incised decoration in the form of a broadly rectangular field enclosing a zoomorphic motif in the Trewhiddle style. The back appears undecorated. The strap end fits into Thomas (2003) Class A, Type 1.

Overall, the object measures 25.5mm long, 9.3 mm wide and 3.0 mm thick (1.2 mm ignoring the split attachment end). It weighs 1.4 g.
