Most of the strap ends recovered in Britain date from the 12th century onwards, this being the period when they were widely used by both men and women. The strap end was made from various metals including bronze, copper (normally gilded, silvered or tinned) pewter, tin, silver, gold and iron. Our specimen, probably dated to 11th-12th century A.D., continue the style of the Anglo-Viking beast mounts of the previous centuries.
