Title
Early medieval strapend, lead alloy
Description
English: A complete Late Saxon (Viking Age) tongue-shaped strap-end of , decorated with simple, geometrically arranged, foliate ornament, being a debasement of the true Winchester vine-scroll style. The edge of the decorated field is ornamented with a marginal line of moulded beads. At the attachment end, there is a small, undecorated rectangular field, in which two lead alloy rivets remain. The reverse is unornamented. Interestingly, this example is of lead alloy. A number of strap fitting and brooches and dress accessories are known in this material from Anglo-Scandinavian England, and they probably represent inexpensive alternatives to more prestigious examples in copper alloy and precious metals.
