Object type: STRAP END

County: Warwickshire

A heavily corroded cast copper-alloy strap end, which is probably early medieval or medieval in date. In profile, the strap end has a convex-sided plate with a concave sided waist just above the broadly shield shaped terminal at the base. In profile, the split end at the top is visible, in which the strap would have been secured with pins/rivets. One side of the terminal is also more pronounced and rounded. This may have been a zoomorphic terminal as is seen on certain types of strap end (see “Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age strap-ends 750-1100”, Thomas, 2003 & 2004). The stra…

This is the stub of the split end in which the strap would have been secured with pins/rivets. In addition to the zoomorphic terminal, the front of the strap end is decorated with incised lines. There is an unidentified dark brown substance within some of the lines. At the top of the front of the plate th…

Early Medieval (10th to 11th century, Late Anglo-Saxon) cloisonné brooch. Cast in copper alloy the brooch is circular in plan with seven lobes around the circumference. The upper surface of the brooch has a projecting circular border set at a 90 degree angle to the plate to create a deep recess for the cloisonné decoration. This border is formed of three elements, the outer and inner element are plain rings, while the recess between the two has an applied copper alloy wire which may have formed a rope-work design, however not enough survives to determine the exact decorative style. …
