STRAP END

Unique ID: LVPL-F18EEA

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

Early Medieval copper alloy strap end fragment, possibly from a Thomas Class A or B. One face has incised decoration consisting of what appears to be interlace within a border, terminating toward the tip with three parallel vertical lines. The rest of the tip seems to be undecorated but it may be that the decoration is lost. The other face is undecorated. Probably dates to between c700 and c900 AD.

The length is 30mm, the width is 10mm, thickness 2mm, and the weight 2.45g.
