An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy strap end dating to circa AD 1400-1500. The piece consists of a broadly lozengiform terminal, the front face of which carries incised foliate decoration, and a crescentic plate. The piece would have been formed of two crescentic plates joined together, although only the front plate now survives. Projecting from the reverse are two circular rivets.  THe front face of the plate is decorated with an incised permiter border in the interior of which is incised decoration, seemingly following no discernible pattern or arrangement, consisting of hemisp…

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy spacer from a composite strap end datomg to circa AD 1270-1500. Rectangular-sectioned, the spacer is forked with two pointed prongs emerging from an openwork oval plate which terminatesl in an acordn shaped knop. Only one fork now survives. It tapers gently into a point. The other has broken away. Similar examples are depicted in Egan and Pritchard 2002: pg 141, pl 92. Length: 51.4mm; Width: 20.1mm; Thicknes: 2.1mm; Weight: 4.63g.

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy composite strap end dating to circa AD 1200-1400. The strap end is small and worn. At one end is a pointed terminal. It terminates at the other end in an old break immediately after a median in situ, separately, made copper alloy rivet joining two plates together. One plate is decorated immediately after the rivet with incised triangular grooves running along the vertical axis. It is likely the piece would have been much longer, the design more elaborate, and a second rivet present at the now missing attachment end.  Similar examples are depict…

A complete copper alloy strap end dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1200-1400). The strap end is formed of a single sheet of copper alloy that has been folded widthways. It has the shape of a sub-square base with a rounded end. At the top of the base, two arms extend upwards to create a U-shape. At the top of the arms is an in-situ copper alloy rivet that still connects to the folded backside of the sheet. The is decorated with incised traverse lines along the arms and a pattern that is too worn at the sub-square base. The reverse side is undecorated. The object has a pitter surface…

Medieval copper-alloy composite strap end with a forked spacer. It appears to be nearly complete. The front and back plates are of equal size and shape, with straight or nearly-straight parallel lateral edges, one more roughly abraded than the others, and a tapering (triangular) closed end which terminates in small knop. The attachment or open end is more irregular in shape and has certainly lost some fragments, but there are remnants of at least one apparently intentional V-shaped notch on each plate. The spacer runs the extends the full width and nearly the full length, from the knop…
