A fragment of an Early Medieval cast copper alloy openwork strap end, dating from AD 875 - 1100. It can be classified as Thomas' Class E. Only part of the middle survives. The strap end would have been tongue shaped (rectangular, probably with a rounded closed end). It has a series of holes giving an openwork pattern probably representing either a plant design (Class E type 1) or anthropomorphic decoration (Class E type 2), but not enough survives to tell which. Measurements are; length 25.5mm, width 16.1mm, thickness 2.1mm and weight 2.31g. …

A fragment of a copper alloy strap end or buckle plate or clasp plate, dating from the Medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is a sub-rectangular plate, tapering towards one end. The narrow end is slightly curved, perhaps where the strap end was folded widthways. If the plate is from a strap clasp, the bend could be where it was folded round the frame. At the wider end are two rivet hole, and there is a third hole or notch in the broken end. The third hole could be a slot for the pin if the plate is form a buckle. The plate is 23.4mm long,12.4mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs…

A copper alloy artefact, probably a strap end of the folded sheet type, dating from the Medieval period, about AD 1250 - 1400. It is constructed from a strip of sheet copper alloy, folded over roughly half way along its length. In the centre of one end of the strip is a circular, domed extension; the other end tapers to a blunt point. In the centre of the underside of the circular extension is an integral single, copper alloy rivet with a large flat head which passes through a perforation in the other end to hold the strap end closed.

The attachment end is incomplete. The strap end is 28.5mm long, 11.5mm wide and 1.9mm thick. 1.2g. Compare various types in Egan and Pritchard (1991).

A broken copper-alloy strap end of Early-Medieval date, about AD 750 - 950. The strap end is of Thomas' Class A, probably Type 1 with a Trewhiddle style design and a zoomorphic terminal. The strap end is sub-ovate with a zoomorphic terminal at the closed end. The attachment end is missing. The central design appears to be curvilinear interlace with traces of niello, but it is corroded making it difficult to decipher. The zoomorphic terminal is in the form of a forward facing animal head with moulded features including curved ears (that look like horns), oval eyes, an…

A worn, near complete copper-alloy Anglo-Scandinavian strap-end, dating from about AD 1000-1100. The strap-end consists of a narrow body with a bifurcated attachment-end which survives almost intact, with a copper alloy rivet. The shaft is almost square in cross section, and at the terminal end, expands into a zoomorphic animal head. The strap end appears to be of Thomas's Class B type 6 which is defined by having an beast head terminal seen from the side. This example is three dimensionally moulded, but at right angles to the plane of the strap attachment , so the front/top of th…

A medieval copper-alloy strap end dating from AD 1270 - 1450. The object is formed from two sheets of copper-alloy, riveted together. The plates are of similar size although the upper plate is slightly larger and the sides have been folded down to form shallow edges to the strap end. The strap end extends to a point at the closed end (making it pentagonal in plan) and is undecorated. Signs of two rivets remain - one close to the point and the other in the centre of the open end of the strap end. It appears to be complete. The strap end has a mid green…
