Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper-alloy two-piece strap-end. Narrow, tongue-shaped with rounded end. Edges and surface very badly damaged and pitted. Two copper-alloy rivets intact arranged vertically, securing plate at top. Traces of a further rivet hole. This object is difficult to date positively, due to its poor condition with the loss of much of its surface and therefore, also possibly diagnostic decoration.

A copper-alloy sheet plate from a late Roman heart-shaped strap-end. The main body of the plate takes the form of an inverted heart. This flares out to a butt at what would normally be the pointed end. There is a triangular nick at each short end of the butt, with further such nicks all along the long end. There is a circular perforation at the butt end, made from the lower surface upwards. The upper surface features rocker-arm incised decoration round the edge of the heart and also longitudinally up its centre. On the lower surface the lower half of the heart bears an off-white accre…

A cast copper-alloy plate from a late Roman heart-shaped strap-end. The lower half of the plate takes the form of an inverted heart. This is delineated by a prominent central V-shaped groove. The heart tapers to a rectangular upper half. There is a circular perforation at the attachment end which retains part of its rivet. The upper surface of the strap-end features regular punched ring-and-dot decoration round the edge of the heart, above the groove, below the rivet hole, and at the attachment end. On the lower surface the area below the rivet hole to the upper part of the heart bear…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman artefact known as a 'nail-cleaner strap-end'; it could have been either or both. The object takes the form of a truncated pointed oval. It is flat and rectangular in cross-section. At one end is a pair of small crescent-shaped lugs, above which is a rectangular stub which has been broken. These crescentic lugs are characteristic of the main group within this object type (Eckardt with Crummy 2006, 87; fig. 3). Below the neck and lugs, the curve to the widest point is gradual, as is the curve to the terminal. The terminal is squared off with a…

A broken and damaged cast copper-alloy Roman strap-end with openwork perforations. The artefact is perhaps best classified as an 'amphora-shaped' strap-end, as such dating to the fourth or fifth century AD (Geake 2001, 31). By definition, the artefact takes the approximate shape of an amphora, tapering to a pointed terminal. The sides are straight and taper gradually from the widest point (14.65mm) towards the attachment end. The terminal is expanded in width (5.5mm) and thickness and is of sub-conical form, similar to that on a strap-end illustrated in Appels and Laycock (2007, 257; …

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman probable strap-end, comparable with the 'nail-cleaner strap-ends which could have served as either or both. This example is missing the bifid tip of the nail cleaner variant; both the lugs and the split end, which would have fastened onto the strap, are damaged. The strap end has a flat rectangular section, with worn or slightly bevelled edges. The attachment end is trapezoidal in plan tapering very slightly from 10.4mm wide at the end to 8.8mm and was split to receive the strap, with one half of the split now lost. Just below thi…

A broken, now incomplete, cast copper-alloy possible late Roman artefact known as a 'nail-cleaner strap-end'; it could have been either or both. The object takes the form of an elongated quadrilateral, squared off at the short ends - at the attachment end following an old break, before any lugs or loop. It is flat and rectangular in cross-section. Towards the attachment end is the widest point; from this point it tapers gradually to the terminal. The squared off terminal has a slight V-shaped removal within a longer triangular groove on the upper surface. This gives the strap-end a sl…

A corroded cast copper-alloy Roman strap-end with openwork perforations. The artefact is perhaps best classified as an 'amphora-shaped' strap-end, as such dating to the fourth or fifth century AD (Geake 2001, 31). By definition, the artefact takes the broad shape of an amphora, tapering to a rounded terminal. The attachment end is triangular (Th.: 3.75mm), as with a strap-end described by Clarke (1979, 281; ref. 128) as a prototype of the 'Tortworth' type. This example shares the expanded body of the published example, beyond the attachment end, with its pair of circular perforations.…

A worn and corroded probable attachment end from a late Roman strap-end. The object is broadly trapezoidal in plan, thin but solid at the narrow end (Th.: 3.0mm); wider but split at the wider end. The triangular recess extends c. 13.7mm into the artefact. In both corners at the wider attachment end is an extant rivet. The lower surface of the object is plain, but does feature a slightly raised transverse strip that corresponds with the lowermost part of the split. Interestingly, a similar strip can be seen on a strap-end illustrated in Appels and Laycock (2007, 263; ref. SL13.46b).…

A fragment probably from the attachment end of a copper-alloy late Roman artefact known as a 'nail-cleaner strap-end'; it could have been either or both. The object is sub-triangular, with two curved projections at the narrowest end, now broken. The upper surface is decorated with incised decoration comprised of three irregular rows of small punches which extend from the narrowest end for about two thirds of the length of the mount. There is an 'X' design comprised of small punches at the widest terminal end. There is a circular copper alloy rivet still attached to the mount between t…

Copper alloy Roman strap end. The strap end can be divided into three general sections: upper, middle and lower. The upper section is generally semi-circular and is split to form two plates. The upper edge is damaged and there are two copper alloy rivets arranged laterally close to the upper edge which join the two plates together. Beneath this the plates join. The middle section expands to the sides, which form two moulded semi-circular projections, while the centre is comprised of openwork decoration. In the centre there is a waisted logitudinal element. The openwork elements …

Copper alloy Roman strap end. The upper edge of the object appears to be broken off, although a small sem-circular section survives where the object appears to have been divided into two plates. Beneath this the object narrows, forming convex edges, then expands again, forming concave edges. The object then forms a generally rectangular element. This section, beneath the semi-circular upper element, has an incised border along the edges, and the edges are damaged. It is likely that there would have been openwork decoration in the section, the outer edges of which have been broken …

A large decorated strap-end of Hawkes and Dunning's type Va, made from copper alloy. The object consists of two parts. At the end adjacent to the (leather) strap is a thickened trapezoidal extension, which contains a slot and a single rivet for holding the strap. This trapezoidal part is outlined with a pair of borders, each with lines of punching. From the narrower end of this panel proceeds a complex pointed leaf-shaped or long triangular plate, giving an amphora-shaped effect. On both edges of the plate is an animal in profile, with the backs of the animals forming the edges of the…

An incomplete copper alloy Roman military 'Amphora' strap end, dating to the Roman Period in Britain (AD 43-410). It consists of a flat lozenge-shaped plate, with ancient breaks at each end. At the top the 'handles' have broken off, leaving two small stubs at the sides and a longer break in the middle. Above the 'handles' there would presumably have been a rivet or lugs for attachment to the strap. The tip of the strap end has also broken off. The front is decorated with a central ring and punched dot motif, while the reverse is plain. The strap end is 28.1 mm long, 16.8mm wide and…

An incomplete Late Roman (AD 300-410) copper alloy probable strap-end, of Eckhardt and Crummy's 'nail-cleaner strap-end' zoomorphic type. It is broken at the attachment end, and the bifurcated end is possibly a little damaged too. The strap end has a flat rectangular cross-section and is max.2.44mm thick. The attachment end is trapezoidal in plan tapering from 5.53mm at the worn break (where the bottom of the socket is just discernable) to 5.01mm, and is split for the strap. Just below this point and above the curved shoulders are two animal heads projecting outwards from the edges, …
