A copper alloy strap fitting, probably a strap slide of Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The object is circular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. It is decorated with eight evenly spaced pointed oval petals moulded in relief. Each oval has two longitudinal curved grooves along it. They surround a central annulet. Corrosion within the annulet suggests that there may have been a separate central stud, now missing, fixed though a hole in the centre of the fitting. The reverse of the object is flat except for a a scar in the centre (from the missing stud) and two integral stubs of t…

A copper alloy Medieval pendant loop and bar mount dating from AD 1350 - 1400. The loop is annular, sub-circular and is of D shaped cross-section. The bar mount is rectangular and slender. One end is bevelled. The other narrows then bends backwards to form a U shaped suspension loop, the end of which is riveted to the back of the mount. The object is 17.2mm long, 9.6mm wide, 4.2mm thick and weighs 0.85g. See https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/pendent-loops/ and page 221 in Egan and Pritchard (1991).

A copper alloy Medieval bar mount and pendent loop dating from about AD 1300 - 1400, or perhaps Post Medieval. The mount is broken across a rivet hole, so it is not certain it was a bar mount. It tapers to a loop that bends to the back to support the pendent loop, and there is a notch in each side near the start of the hook. A copper alloy ring is suspended from the hook. It varies in width but has no constriction. The object is 23.5mm long in total, 12.0mm wide, 3.9mm thick and weighs 1.23g.  The loop is 12.0mm in diameter.  The mount fragment is 14.5mm long and 8.0mm w…

A cast copper alloy zoomorphic strap end from the Early Medieval period, AD 850 - 1100. Only the zoomorphic terminal at the closed end survives. It is probably part of a Thomas Class F strap end. The terminal is ppointed and moulded into an animal head with rounded ears, brown ridges, oval eyes and a narrow snout. Above the head is a narrower neck which just widens again before the break, which reveals the split characteristic of cast strap ends.

Part of a copper alloy Medieval strap slide dating from AD 1150 - 1400. Only the front edge survives. It is sub-rectangular, tapering at both ends, and has a central rounded boss. It is D shaped in cross-section. At one end there is a right angle bend where part of the side survives, but the other side and the back are missing, making it impossible to know what type of rivet and/or projections it had. The object is 17.2mm long, 7.0mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weighs 1.80g. See https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/strap-slides/#Medievalstrap-slides.
