A Medieval (1200-1400) strap end of copper alloy composition (as evidenced by substantial greening), with remaining elements of silvering. The object is narrow and thin, tapering from 10mm at the widest surviving part to 7mm at the narrowest. There are two visible plates connected by a pin, though it is clear from the break point at the narrowest end that there were originally two pins and it is at this weak point it has snapped. some compressed dried soil obscures a view of the inside. The upper plate is decorated with a clear border, the area inside of which has remnants of a c…

Copper alloy strap end. Narrow pointed strap end made from two sheets of thickness 0.5mm joined at the belt end by a rivet of diameter 1.6mm and length 3.3mm. It is uncertain how the pointed ends of the sheets were joined; perhaps by a spot of brazing. Though the form and construction is simple, it does not appear amongst numerous strap ends of medieval date reported from London, where comparable shapes were achieved by folding sheet metal. Kevin Leahy kindly notes similar strap ends to be common finds from 14th-century contexts at York. Suggested date: Medieval, 1300-1400. Length:…

Unusual probably 14th century copper alloy buckle plate. It is decorated with massed punch marks delineating a man wearing a Phrygian cap which is similar to Roman decoration but there are no Roman parallels for this object. Again there are no clear parallels in the medieval for either the method of decoration, with the massed punch marks or the decoration on the corners. But on balance it is probably Medieval 14th century when, after all, they had their contacts with the east. The reddish discolouration suggests it may have been gilded. The length is 45mm, and the width is 22mm.
