Saxon and Other Bronze Strap End Collection
Circa 8th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £208
Comprising mainly Thomas's Class A Types 1, 2 and 5, many with silver inlay and niello; two tongue-shaped types. 54.6 grams total, 34-51 mm
From the collection of a North American gentleman, formed in the 1990s.
Thomas' Class A is the classic ‘long’ 9th-century strap end with animal-head terminal, often depicted in the Trewhiddle style. During the 9th century, for the first time in the Anglo-Saxon period, we see the adoption of what may be termed a 'national' artistic style - the Trewhiddle style - which has been recognised on objects from Anglo-Saxon England, from as far as Cornwall and Talnotrie, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland. -
