Object type certainty: Certain

A resized image of Early Medieval Thomas class A1 strap end

An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end of Thomas class A1, dating c. 800-1100.

The strap end is sub-triangular in plan, with a large central panel with a zoomorphic interlace beast in relief and a mousehead terminal. The split end is missing, and the reverse is undecorated.

The strap end is very corroded, with much of the surface patina missing, though some detail of the decoration is visible despite this.

Class: Thomas class A1
