A complete copper-alloy strap fitting of medieval date, circa AD 1150 - 1450. The fitting comprises an ovate frame with a large single collared knop extending to the outer curved edge. The opposite edge is flattened, narrowed and recessed to form a bar. The metal has a dark green patina and is worn. The fitting is 19.8mm long, 13.3mm wide, 5.3mm thick and weighs 1.9g. A similar fitting is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, p.221, fig.138, no.1192 and is described as a pendant loop which would have been suspended from a bar mount.

A complete medieval cast copper-alloy strap-slide (strap-fitting). The frame is five sided with a wide flat base, sides that are almost parallel but in fact slope outwards very slightly, and an angled peak in the centre of the top bar. The base is rectangular in cross section and the sides and top bar are trapeziodal, the inner sides being wider than the outer. There is a hole through the base of the frame, halfway along and off centre, through which a circular-sectioned rivet projects internally. The frame is 22.9 mm long at the base, widening to 24.4 mm at the top bar. It is 18.7…

A complete medieval cast copper-alloy strap-slide (strap-fitting). The frame is oval to D-shaped, with an integral circular sectioned rivet projecting outwards 2.2mm from the centre of the base, now bent slightly to one side. The sides of the frame are rectangular in cross section, becoming slightly D-shaped on the outer edge, probably due to wear. The frame is 14.6 mm wide, 12.2 mm long including the rivet and 2.4 mm thick, it weighs 0.87 g. There are extensive file marks on all faces. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 230; fig 145) illustrate a very similar example, no. 1232, and su…
