An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end of probable Late Anglo-Saxon dating (750 - 1100 AD). The strap end is sub oval (rectangle with flattened ends and bowed sides) in plan. The majority of the strap end is cast as a solid piece, with the exception of the widest part of the terminal which divides, in profile, forming a 'V' shape. The leather strap would have been attached to the strap end by rivets. The back part of the V shaped union is present, the front plate is missing.

An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic strap end, of Medieval dating (11th to 12th Centuries AD) The artefact was originally constructed of two pieces: a solid upper plate, with projecting basal terminal; and an attached back plate, which is now missing. The upper plate has a horizontal top side; its long sides are also straight and converge towards the bottom. A narrower neck projects vertically downwards from the base of the plate, its height increasing as it extends into a terminal in the form of a forward-facing zoomorphic head. This head is heavily stylised, its ears, eyes and …
