A sheet plate from a copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end. The plate is trapezoidal in form, narrowing gradually to an tapered end with flattened tip. The second plate is missing. The strap-end is held together by a pair of rivets, both survive. The object has corroded to a variable mid/dark-green colour. It has been bent upwards slightly. It can be dated to the 13th to 14th century and examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 147; ref. 698) and also Griffiths et al. (2007, 134-135; ref. 1552).

A cast copper-alloy medieval strap end. The strap end is a rectangular sheet which has been folded widthways. The two plates are uneven in width, one plate narrows towards the upper half before expanding slightly at the tip. At the opposite edge to the fold there is a single copper alloy rivet through a rivet hole on each plate. There is a 1.15mm gap between the two plates. The strap end is heavily worn, there are possibly a number of notches at the tip around the rivet on one face. The surface of the strap-end has a dark green patina.

A cast copper-alloy Medieval composite strap-end (c. 14th century AD). It is formed of a sheet spacer plate between a pair of sheets; the spacer plate is slightly shorter than the sheets. The strap-end is sub-rectangular, narrowing very slightly to an angled end with triangular terminal protrusion. It is held together by a pair of rivets, one central at the attachment end, the other central just above the terminal. The object can be dated to the later 14th century by comparison with a parallel illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991 (142; ref. 660).

A complete cast copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end with stylised collared acorn knop terminal. The forked spacer survives at a maximum length of 30.4mm including the knop. The acorn knop is small, basic and faceted on both faces in the longitudinal plane; there are transverse file marks on both sides. Both sheets are complete and survive adhering to the spacer, both include the perforation which would have taken the rivet, central at the attachment end. One sheet is bent inwards, increasingly so as it travels towards the attachment end, the other is bent outwards slightly.The a…

A complete cast copper-alloy crescentic-shaped composite strap-end of medieval date (c. 1400 - c. 1450 AD; Geake 2001, 32). The object comprises a sub-circular frame forming a crescentic shape with an elaborate sub-triangular outside edge in the form of a terminal. The artefact has a flat reverse face. The circular part of the frame is pierced with an off-centre oval opening. The moulded terminal is openwork and features twelve perforations arranged symmetrically around a central rib. It may represent a tree or a bush. Rivets secure a thin copper-alloy back-plate, oval in plan; two at…
