An incomplete Early Medieval copper-alloy strap end dating to circa AD 750-950. It consists of a single plate with zoomoprhic terminal which splits at the end. It is plano-convex in section and broadly rectangular in plan. The zoomorphic terminal consists of the snout of a beast and is now heavily worn. The front face of the rectangular body has a recessed rectangular panel which would have contained elaborate decoration. However, it is now so heavily worn and abraded that nothing can be discerned. At the attachment and is a single central rivet hole with intact, externally c…

A complete Early Medieval copper-alloy strap end dating to circa AD 750-950. It is tongue shape with rounded edges and pointed, probably zoomorphic terminal, and split attachment end. The front face is extremely worn but a moulded zoomorphic head is discernible towards the terminal and the upper plate was likely decorated with an incised design. The reverse of a strap end is relatively flat and undecorated. The strap end is probably of the Class A, Type 2 variety, which Thomas (2003, p. 2) describes as "a very diverse type encompassing a range of non-representational, c…

An incomplete Medieval copper alloy strap end, probably a buckle or clasp plate, dating to c AD 1200 - 1500. These are difficult to date closely unless decorative features are extant. It consists of  a folded rectangular sheet with parallel sides, the two ends of which  would originally have met at the split attachment end but one of which now falls short, due to an early break. A loop is left at the point of the fold to take the buckle or clasp, now missing. There are five rivet holes, a pair near the edges at both ends and a central hole. The damaged end has lost …
