Copper alloy strap end. A strap end of composite construction with two plates of thickness 0.9 and 0.4mm with a central probably forked spacer plate between them whose tip projects at the outer ogival end. The inner end is lightly engrailed. A rivet of diameter 1.7mm passes through the inner end to attach the plates to each other and the strap. A woven fabric strap remains preserved between the plates – the finder kindly notes he had kept the object wet to preserve what was at first thought to be a leather strap, as the find-spot was also damp. The use of a textile strap may deno…

Copper alloy and textile strap end. A pair of plates or a single plate folded lengthways with an ogival outer end and a rivet hole of diameter 1.6mm at its inner end, which was probably engrailed. A further rivet at the front end was only noted during image processing. Woven fabric, now of a buff tint, remains trapped between the plates. This might point to a later medieval date within the available range as sumptuary laws enacted following the Black Death, particularly the Statute of 1369, restricted the wearing of leather straps by the lesser sort.

The strape end is made of two trapzoidal zones whose narrow parallel edges touch, the upper being much bigger than the lower so that it is similar to a butterfly or hourglass shape. The larger section is split into two to provide a slot for a strap to be placed within. It is also pierced by two circular holes which contain circular domed headed rivets. This section is decorated by three incised slightly diagonal and non-parallel lines running across its width. The reverse is plain and undecorated and plain barring one circular pit. The obj…

A complete cast copper alloy strap end dating from the Early Medieval period, in the 9th century AD. Although in one piece, the strap end has two distinct parts: the strap attachment plate, and a long tapering shaft. The split-end strap attachment plate is trapezoidal in plan (being 13.4mm long and its width tapering from 9.6mm at the split end to 4.5mm where it joins to the shaft), and wedge-shaped in profile. Near its widest point is one rivet hole. The shaft is 27mm long, and in cross-section goes from circular at the tip, to sub-rectangular where it joins with the s…

An incomplete copper alloy Medieval strap end, dating from about AD 1200 - 1500. Only one sheet of the strap end survives.

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).
