This is an Anglo-Scandinavian Belt end which saw use
between c.AD 750 - 950.
It is based on a find listed on the Portable Antiquities
Scheme, ID YORYM-B1D77B and is classified as an A1avii or
'Wooperton' type strap end. Quite a few similar (in fact
nearly identical) strap ends have been found, mainly in the
north of the UK, suggesting that they were produced either
in one workshop or using moulds impressed from one
original model.
It is in Trewhiddle style with interlaced beasts pictured in the
central panel and a moulded zoomorphic beast head as the
terminal.
Cast in brass using lost wax casting process, original master
carved and cast by Stuart Makin of Jackhammer Forge.
The strap end comes supplied with rivets and washer to fix it
to your belt.
Dimensions:
Length: 65mm x Width: 18mm x Thickness: 2mm
The strap end would fit a 15mm wide strap.

Living History is making history come to life, and there are groups around the country that weekend in and weekend out (and some days in between) will set up a living history encampment, although at the moment my pages are focused generally upon the Migration, Saxon/Viking age, many of the items are transferable to other periods such as Roman and Crusade and earlier/later.
We hope this section can provide you with items to enhance your display, and if you're not a re-enactor, then also to enhance your home.
Please note that some wooden items may no longer be in stock throughout event season however please contact me to replicate anything you may see and like.
