A resized image of Early Medieval strap end

A cast copper-alloy strap end of the later Early Medieval period, c. 900-1100.

The strap end is 'tongue-shaped' in plan and rectangular in section, with a split end retaining one of two rivets on the reverse face of the split end. The display face of the strap end has a central raised rib in low relief which has been separated into small squares. To either side of this rib are two parallel columns of punched ring-and-dot decoration, with an extra pair on the rightside panel. The reverse is undecorated.
