An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end of Thomas class A1, dating c. 800-1100. The strap end is sub-triangular in plan, with a large central panel with a zoomorphic interlace beast in relief and a mousehead terminal. The split end is missing, and the reverse is undecorated. The strap end is very corroded, with much of the surface patina missing, though some detail of the decoration is visible despite this.

One-piece copper-alloy strap-end consisting of rectangular split socket with one rivet hole containing an copper-alloy rivet (length 5.5mm, gap 3.5mm), and solid globular terminal, diameter 14mm. Length 28mm. The split continues from the socket for 11mm into the terminal. Similar objects with solid terminals, often decorated with tiny bosses, have been recorded from Brampton (HER 35055), Burgh Castle (HER 49788), Old Catton (HER 24898), Stow Bardolph (HER 31513) and Burgh and Tuttington (HER 50157).

A corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-end made of a single strip folded in half widthways. In shape it is a simple rectangular with rounded corners, some of the rounding may be from wear. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going through the strap and a hole in the back-plate. The flattened end of the rivet is sub square. The strip is notably thick (Th.: c. 1.9mm); this has helped result in a fracture to one side of the fold that extends up one face. The strap-end seems to have been squeezed together j…

A cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The strap end is incomplete, missing one corner. It consists of a rectangular split plate, in which the majority of the strap end is split. The circular perforations inside the outer edge, furthest from the split end, indicate where the strap was fixed to the plate, with one copper-alloy rivet remaining. A simple incised line set inside the outer edge forms a border, but there is no other decoration.

A group of nine objects from the same field, though not necessarily deposited together, two certainly and the rest probably of Early Medieval date. 1) A 9th - early 10th century silver, Anglo-Saxon strap end (incomplete). The strap end is broken at both ends, but the central panel containing a Trewhiddle style animal on a niello ground is present. It is 21.08mm long, 10.75mm wide and 1.47mm thick. It weighs 1.54g. Compare SWYOR-FFAAF8. 2) A hacksilver fragment of twisted silver rod cut from a Viking-period Permian ring. It is sub-circular in section and has been cut on an angle …

A silver plate probably from a strap end of Early Medieval date. The plate is rectangular but with one corner broken off and damage to the middle of the other long edge. The upper face is plain, but on the reverse are slight marks where there have been rivets; one in a corner, and two at the other end near the corners, but further from the short edge. There is also a roughened patch in the centre. The plate is difficult to date, but as it is from an Early Medieval productive site, an Early Medieval date is suggested. As it is probably more than 300 years old, and made of silver, it…

A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end with stylised knopped terminal. The forked spacer survives at a maximum length of 22.5mm including the knop. The knop consists of three conjoined ridges, with angled edges and grooves between, and a rounded, slightly expanded, end below. It has been bent slightly as a result of old damage. Both sheet plates survive adhering to the spacer. One has been broken and only survives the length of the spacer. They are trapezoidal with angled bases which follow the spacer as it angles in to the terminal. The more complete …

A copper-alloy external sheet plate from a three-piece composite medieval cast copper-alloy strap-fitting, probably a strap-end. The object is sub-rectangular in shape. It may have been truncated towards the terminal, though the 'break' is very even and straight. At the incurving attachment end there is a central circular perforation (Dia.: 4.9mm) which goes through to the edge. Below this is a triangular groove extending a short way into the plate, with a tiny circular hole to one side of the perforation. Through both tabs at the side of the perforation is an extant rivet surviving w…

A broken and incomplete spacer plate from a medieval composite strap-end with stylised collared acorn knop terminal cast in copper alloy. Both of the prongs have been seemingly truncated, with one longer and bent at its present tip. The prongs are recessed (Th.: 2.1mm) to accommodate (missing) sheet plates and feature file marks to help the plates' adhesion. The thick collared acorn knop is fairly well rendered with nut and fruit moulded. Similar strap-ends can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 144; fig. 94) and date to the 14th or 15th centuries AD. This piece has co…

Early Medieval Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy strap end dating probably 9th century AD probably Thomas Class A type 2. The strap end is sub-rectangular, decorated with 2 circles formed by raised pellets with radiating pellets and one central pellet. There are two circular rivet holes for attachment, but the copper alloy rivets are missing. The terminal is sub-rounded and maybe zoomorphic. The mottling on the surface indicates that it was probably originally gilded. Length 42mm, width 10mm. Shares similarities with ESS-339C67, NMS-44E085, YORYM-F8E644 and ESS-D4C2F5 on the database.

A corroded and damaged early-medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas' (2003, 2) Class A, Type 2. This would date the artefact to around the ninth century. The strap-end has a flat, rectangular cross-section and sub-oval in form. It is curved in profile as a result of old damage. The split attachment end is rounded through abrasions. Its upper fold has been all but lost and the lower fold is so abraded that the usual pair of rivet holes cannot be discerned. The artefact tapers gradually towards the terminal which is more pointed, but still rounded at the tip. The zoo…
