Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy strap-end, dating from the 9th century. This is an example of a Thomas Class A strap-end, with a split end, outward bowing sides, and probably a zoomorphic terminal, which has subsequently been lost, along with some of the tapering strap-end body (cf. Thomas 2003, Datasheet 32). The split end has a central notch which creates a bi-lobed edge. Two silvered circular rivets fit at the split end, one in each lobe. On the front surface there is a series of six panels, and possibly a portion of a seventh at the base of the brok…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete and rather worn copper alloy gilt Late Early-Medieval asymmetrical mount in the English Urnes style (c.1000-1100).

The bo…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete late early-medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame (c. 10th century). Approximately 2/3 of the frame survives, with three remaining protruding conical zoomorphic heads as decoration and a pronounced sub-triangular pin rest with central groove. The zoomorphic heads seem to consist of an elongated snout with two simple eye holes. The two heads that comprise an outer edge of the buckle frame flank the pin rest, with a simple frame in between the elements. However, the third head is connected to one of the outer decorative heads by means of a thicker bevelled frame segment w…
