Title
Copper alloy strapend, ealy medieval
Description
English: An early medieval copper-alloy strap end, measuring 31mm x 10mm x 3mm. It has a zoomorphic terminal at the closed end, a short narrow body, and a flared attachment end, split into a front and rear plate but truncated before the end. The plate is decorated with simple geometric ornament, inspired by animal- and plant-based designs. Thus, close to the attachment end is a motif referred to as a trilobate palmette, and at the distal terminal a zoomorphic 'animal head design', using geometric designs to suggest ears eyes, and nose. The reverse is undecorated and is slightly concave at the attachment end. The strap end is in good condition and has a an even green patina (notwithstanding attached image, caused by unusual lighting conditions). The type fits into Thomas' (2003) classification as Class A Type 2.
