Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete middle to late early-medieval copper-alloy strap end, dating to the period 750-1050.

Of the split end only the reverse plate remains, the front appearing to have been broken in antiquity as the break is worn. There is a chance it may neve…
