Starp end 6


The strap end is of a copper/bronze alloy, measuring 3.8 cm by 0.8 cm. The proximal end shows a stylised palmette and carried holes for two rivets, the head of one survives.
The design is almost floral? with possible leaves a trunk headed by a flower? Various parts of the design are of silver inlay - not all survives but enough to give a feel of the design. I would categories the strap end as Class A type2? The reverse is plain.
