A slightly worn and corroded early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas' (2003, 2) Class A, probably Type 1 (Trewhiddle style). This would date the artefact to around the 9th century AD. The strap-end is generally flat in profile, but slightly splayed and abraded at the split attachment end. The plate is broadly rectangular with shallowly bowed sides, terminating in an animal head at one end. The split attachment end features a single central perforation instead of the characteristic pair; the rivet is missing. The plate is unifacially decorated on the upper surf…

A Medieval cast copper-alloy composite strap-end (c. 1270-c. 1400 AD). This undecorated strap-end consists of three main elements, a front and back plate and a spacer. The sheet plates are sub-rectangular in plan and have a trefoil knop at the terminal end. Between the knop and the sheets there is a small ridge at either side. One plate is complete and has a straight attachment end. Only about 60% of the other plate survives due to a transverse break. It has a complete sheet spacer which occupies the full width and is just over half the length of the complete sheet. A small copper-…

Copper alloy strap end. Cast zoomorphic split-ended strap end, of slightly waisted form and more elongated than most observed by this reporter. An elongated beast snout terminal with long and pointed lupine ears is, unusually, modelled on both sides. On that less worn side, the eyes are represented by a pair of tiny ring and dot, and whiskers are modelled running across the jowls. Behind the ears a bordered panel of angular interlace extends to the rear split end; it incorporates recurring triangular configurations. The border was observed on the reverse, though interlace was not carr…
