Record ID: SUR-C13DE3
Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a worn strap-end with worn decoration. One end is split but is missing the fixing holes; the terminal end is also missing. The long edges are gently curved. Remains of interlinked ring-and-dot decoration, probably originally niello-inlaid but now standing proud of the surface. There is also a contouring grooved border. From the shape (often called tongue-shaped) it is likely to be broadly 9th-century, and of Thomas's Class A, Type 2 (patterned).

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A strapend of typical mid-late Saxon form with a zoomorphic terminal and a panel decorated in the Trewhiddle style. The attachment end is broken and bent upwards but there are slight traces of the two attachment holes. The central panel is inlaid with light brown, possibly decayed enamel, and shows a curling beast with open mouth and intertwined limbs. The hindquarters sit above the ears of the zoomorphic terminal which has a niello inlaid panel on its forehead.
