Product description
The strap end fitting features a zoomorphic design in the Trewhiddle style, which is characteristic of Anglo-Saxon utilitarian art from the 8th and early 9th centuries. Many Anglo-Saxon belt ends from Viking Age England display a distinctive elongated oval shape, often decorated with notched carvings and silver inlays, reflecting the era's artistic sophistication.
This Anglo-Saxon belt tip mount measures 6.8 x 2.3 cm and is suitable for belts up to 2 cm wide. It includes two double-headed rivets for secure fastening with a hammer. The strap end is available in high-quality bronze .
The Trewhiddle style, named after the Trewhiddle treasure found in Cornwall in 1770, is a hallmark of ninth-century Anglo-Saxon metalwork. It is renowned for its intricate designs, often featuring interlocking niello inlays alongside zoomorphic, vegetal, and geometric motifs. Famous examples of this style include the Pentney hoard, the Abingdon sword, the Fuller brooch, and the Strickland brooch, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the period.
