Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy early medieval (late Anglo-Saxon) strap end. The object consists of three sections - a flattened, wedge-shaped split end to accommodate the strap, a zoomorphic terminal in the same plane as the wedge and an openwork tongue sitting at a right-angle to the terminal. The wedge-shaped end has an in situ copper alloy rivet through its outer end securing both halves together. The edge of each half has two slightly raised bumps behind the terminal, creating the effect 'ears' for the beast. The terminal is moulded to form a rounded head and a pointed snout with open…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire

A probable incomplete cast copper alloy Roman strap end. The strap end has a narrowed neck and small shoulders which run into broadly parallel sides, with a strap split that runs almost the entire length of the surviving object. Linear and dot decoration and transverse scores across the neck section. There is a singular copper rivet through the head end. This may be a damaged example of a nail-cleaner strap-end, a category of artefact discussed by Eckardt and Crummy (2006), although if so it is a large example of the type. No exact parallel could be found for this piece which is proba…
