Fragment of copper-alloy strap-end. The split end flares, but has lost its very end together with its rivet holes. It is now a maximum of 9 mm wide, and is decorated on its front with a fine groove down either side. These grooves run down to where the strap-end becomes solid, which is marked by two or three transverse grooves which run around the front and sides, but not the reverse, of the strap-end. A short length of solid metal survives, just 5 mm wide and undecorated. the total length is 26 mm and the object weighs 1.95g. This strap-end is of Thomas's Class B, Type 1, and is simil…

A copper alloy, two-piece strap-end. The strap end consists of a cast front plate, with the decorative terminal riveted to a sheet back plate. While the main part of the strap end is undecorated the terminal has diagonal grooves cut in it in an abstract design. This type of strap-end often has a terminal in the form of a kings head but this example looked more like a grotesque face. Two rivets could just be seen on the front of the strap end. Strap ends of this type found in London excavations (Egan & Pritchard 1991)have been dated to mid 14th to 15th centuries.

A copper alloy openwork strap-end (Early Medieval 9th - 10th century). According to Gabor Thomas' typology it is Class E tongue-shaped Type 2 anthropomorphic. The openwork decoration forms a central figure with outstretched arms with ribbed lateral lobes or stylised beasts. The strap-end has a solid rather than a split end for attachment. There are two perforations; there is a break across the left perforation. The end of the strap-end is slightly distorted and is bent upwards; this probably occured whilst in the ground.

A long, narrow cast copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end. Rectangular, terminating in a trefoil knop. Each foil of the knop is, in turn, a trefoil. On the plate, at the end opposite the knop, there is an incised transverse rectangle containing an angular quatrefoil design of the obverse. There are further incised diagonal lines between the quatrefoil and the rectangular border. The reverse plate is plain. In addition there is a central spacer-plate, mirroring the two outer plates until it approximately reaches the incised design. The plates are held together by three rivets…

An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end, probably dating to the 10th century AD (length: 59.1mm; width: 18.9mm; thickness: 3.2mm; weight: 12.26g), and may be of an Hiberno-Scandinavian origin.

To either side of the three grooves, there are the remains of approximately six or seven ring and dots. The underside of the artefact is undecorated and there is no evidence of rivets or attachment fittings as the strap end …

An early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end. Thomas (2003, 2) classifies it as a Class A, Type ?1. This would date the artefact to around the ninth century. The strap-end is leaf-shaped, with one end split to take the strap. Its face is decorated while the reverse plate is plain. The face has a triangular animal-head terminal narrowing to a snout. The ears are in the form of a '9' and an reversed '9', and are joined by a bar. Behind the head there is a single field, once inlaid with silver of which fragments remain. The field contains curvilinear grooves which were also inlaid with …

A narrow, early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end. The attachment end has two rivet holes - weak points at which loss has occurred leaving the artefact incomplete. The attachment end (maximum width of 7.6mm) tapers to a width of 3.5mm after 14.6mm. The strap-end is therefore very narrow, tapering again (to 2.2mm) just before it terminates. The strap-end has been bent at the point just after the initial tapering (described above), at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees. Considerable corrosion renders former decoration difficult to discern although the terminal does appear t…

Copper alloy strap end, Thomas type A. The strap end is oval, flat and decorated on the face with incised curves representing a stylised animal head at the tip of the strap end, and perhaps scales further along the body. The scales are located at either edge of the body half way down the face, and consist of three double-lined semi-circles stacked in a pyramid fashion. The attachment end is broken in line with the two rivet holes, which are partially visible. The face of the strap end has been silvered.
