An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end of Thomas' class E, dating c. 900-1100. Originally the strap end would have been tongue shaped in plan, though now the terminal end is missing in old damage and it subsequently is rectangular in form.

The upper edge of the strap end is bifurcated, creating a gap into which the original strap would have been fitted- and subsequently secured together at each corner by means of a single circular-sectioned copper-alloy rivet. While its reverse is plain, the upper surf…
