A complete copper-alloy strap end with central raised dome of medieval date. The strap end is broadly ractangular tapering from the centre of the strap end (19.3mm) to 10.85mm at the tip. The strap end has been constructed from a copper-alloy sheet which has been folded inwards upon itself (the fold is located at the tapering end). Above the fold is a circular peforation which presumably held a rivet which is now missing. To the top of the strap end are two circular perforations which hold copper-alloy rivets in situ. At the point where the strap end tapers on the front face is a circ…

A composite copper alloy strap end, made by folding the metal sheet in half lengthways. The strap end is tongue shaped with a small rounded knop at its terminus. The leather would have been secured by a single rivet at the opposite end - the rivet itself does not survive. The strap end has been silvered and this is mostly intact. The strap end measures 16.73 x 12.39 x 3.52mm. It weighs 2.71 grams. Egan & Pritchard (1991) date this type to the 14th century.

A copper-alloy Medieval forked spacer for a composite strap end dating to the 13th-14th centuries. The forked spacer is hemispherical or 'U' shaped in plan and flat in section, and terminates in two pointed curved ends which appear complete. Extending from the outward centre edge of the forked spacer is a moulded cast terminal in the form of an acorn within its cup; this is sub-oval in section and composed of an oval form within a collar with a secondary collar at the base. Similar forked spacers for composite strap ends can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 141, fig. 92, particul…

A cast copper-alloy Medieval composite strap-end (c. 14th century AD). It is formed of a sheet spacer plate between a pair of sheets; the spacer plate is slightly shorter than the sheets. The strap-end is sub-rectangular, narrowing very slightly to an angled end with triangular terminal protrusion. It is held together by a pair of rivets, one central at the attachment end, the other central just above the terminal. The object can be dated to the later 14th century by comparison with a parallel illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991 (142; ref. 660).
