An incomplete copper alloy Medieval strap end with a sheet spacer probably dating from 1270 - 1350 AD. It is sub-rectangular with broken ends which are both patinated and rounded. The strap end is formed from two plates and a sheet spacer between. The sheet spacer stops before the attachment end to leave space for the strap. No decoration is visible, but the strap end may have once had an incised design. It now has a dusty green patina. There are the remains of a copper alloy rivet in the centre of the attachment end. See page 147 of Dress Accessories by Egan and Pritchard.

A silver plate possibly from a strap end of probable Early Medieval date. The plate is rectangular but one end is broken. Both faces are plain and the complete edges are slightly rounded. Both sides and one end is complete, but the patina on the complete end is missing for most of the length. The remaining end is a patinated break. There are very small rough patches on both faces, possibly corrosion from a nearby object. The original surface is smooth and reflective. There is no evidence of attachment. The plate is difficult to date alone, but as it is from an Early Medieval …

A copper alloy Early Medieval strap end dating from the late 8th to early 10th century. It is a Thomas Class A type 2 strap end, a type characterised by curvilinear or geometric patterns, and noted to dominate the cheaper end of the strap end market. The strap end is cast from one sheet of copper but is split at one end to allow insertion of the strap. The back plate is missing and the upper plate is worn very thin. The strap end is a pointed oval in plan tapering to a flat-nosed zoomorphic terminal. The body of the strap end is separated into three panels of decoration; the zoomor…

A plate from a copper alloy Medieval strap end dating from 1270 - 1450 AD. The plate is tongue shaped with a scalloped attachment edge and round grooved aperture flanked by a copper alloy rivet with a flat head on each side. The closed end is pointed and has a projecting pointed tip. The reverse shows a scar where the forked spacer was soldered. The metal is grey green and probably has a high tin content.

A folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy bent back on itself. One side is complete and the other is broken in half with the attachment end missing. The complete side is plain and has two circular attachment holes, one near each corner of the attachment end. The other end is broken, but there is a circular rivet hole in the centre near the break. None of the rivet holes line up with marks on the other plate, suggesting that the bend may not be in its original position. Egan and Pritchard (1993:159) illustrates some s…
