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).
