A medieval cast copper-alloy forked spacer which would have been part of a composite strap end, dating to the late 13th/early 14th to the early 15th centuries. The front and back plates are missing. The spacer has two rectangular arms, square in cross-section, both of which seem intact and are of slightly varying lengths. The two arms meet at the bottom with the inner sides curving in to the middle in a U-shape and the external sides taper to a series of three rectangular collars moulded in the round, the central of these slightly wider than those above and below. Below these co…

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas's (2003, 2) Class A, Type 1 (Trewhiddle style), abraded and broken at the attachment end. This would date the artefact to around the 9th century AD.
The strap-end is flat in profile, though bent downwards at the attachment end as a result of old damage. The plate is sub-rectangular with sides that taper gradually towards an animal head terminal. Only the lower half of the split attachment end survives, abraded and broken through at the two rivet holes; no rivets survive.
The plate is unifacially decor…

An incomplete early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas's (2003, 2) Class A, Type 1 (Trewhiddle style), broken across the main panel before the animal head terminal. This would date the artefact to around the 9th century AD.
The strap-end is flat in profile, though bent downwards at an angle at the terminal as a result of the old damage mentioned. The plate is sub-rectangular with sides that tapered very gradually towards an animal head terminal. Both halves of the split attachment end survive, though neither rivet is in situ in the two rivet holes; one of th…

From this point it tapers consistently towards an animal head terminal (W.: 6.8mm). The upper half of the split attachment end survives intact, pierced twice, though neither rivet survives. It has also been bent upwards. The lowe…
