An incomplete middle to late early-medieval copper-alloy strap end, dating to the period 750-1050. It is a Thomas Class B, Type 1, characterised by transverse mouldings and a possible zoomorphic terminal. The strap end measures 37.61mm in length and 8.62mm in width. It has a split end and slightly tapering shaft. It is difficult to ascertain on this particular strap-end whether the terminal is zoomorphic as the moulding is very worn. Of the split end only the reverse plate remains, the front appearing to have been broken in antiquity as the break is worn. There is a chance it may neve…

A complete, late early-medieval copper-alloy zoomorphic stirrup strap mount, dating to the period AD 1000-1100. It is Williams Class A, Type 1 and sub-pentagonal in shape, measuring 47.66mm in length and 32.01mm at maximum width. The thickness of the stirrup mount is 4.33mm at the iron rivet, with the main body of the stirrup mount being 2.53mm. The decoration on the mount is of two addorsed beasts joined by a central knot beneath the pendant lobe, which is seen here with an iron rivet, remaining in situ. There appears to be an incised groove which extends from the two beasts up and a…

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy late early-medieval mount, dating to the period 950-1100. It is sub-triangular in shape, measuring 28.62mm in length and 30.21mm in width. The thickness is 2.09mm, and it is concavo-convex in profile (the reverse being concave). The front of the mount has Viking Ringerike-style decoration, with a round, iron rivet still in situ in each corner (each in a state of corrosion). Each side of the triangle has two cusps, creating a triangular projection in between each cusp. One of these projections has been damaged, resulting in a V-shaped notch. A raised rim f…

A complete late early-medieval, copper-alloy zoomorphic strap-end, dating to the period 1000-1100. It is a strap-end of Thomas' Class G, measuring 33.49mm in length and 10.16mm at maximum width. It is parallel-sided with a wedge-shaped split end but missing most of its openwork tongue which would have depicted a sinuous beast with an asymmetrically interlaced body. This would have emerged from the protruding animal mask located at the narrower end of the wedge-shaped body, opposite to the split end. At this point (just before the mask) the body is at its narrowest, measuring 5.87mm wi…

A complete early early-medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper-alloy pin from Type F penannular brooch, dating to the period 410-700. The pin's loop is in the form of a hollow cylindrical or drum-shaped element, presumably cast as one with the shaft. The loop is circular in cross-section and measures 8.41mm in diameter and 11.07mm in length. It is 1.89mm thick. There are prominent rims at either open end, a wide furrow next to each and at the centre two ridges to either side of a raised area. Where the shaft extends from the loop, this central raised area is widest, the two ridges to either sid…

A fragment of a early medieval copper-alloy strap end, dating to the period 750-950. The strap end is of Thomas' Class B, Type 4 with zoomorphic terminal and multi-headed decoration. The strap end is sub-triangular in shape with a zoomorphic terminal beyond a trio of transverse grooves. The terminal is in the form of a forward facing animal head with prominent rounded eyes, snub snout and drilled nostrils. The strap end is cast in one piece but the attachment end is split into an upper and lower plate to allow the strap material to be fitted (this is missing). The surviving body of th…

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete buckle frame of probably late early-medieval to early medieval date (c. 1000-1200). It is triangular in shape consisting of two outside edges and the bar. Extensions of the frame either side of the bar, now terminating in old breaks, suggest these originally extended, perhaps into another loop of similar shape. The frame is oval in cross-section with the addition of a ridge at the centre of the two outside edges. This is moulded into a row of single knops with worn grooves between. The oval-sectioned frame behind has similar moulded and grooved decoration in alignment wi…

An incomplete copper-alloy possible buckle, missing its pin. It is probably Early-Medieval to medieval in date (c. AD 410-1500). The buckle is D-shaped, measuring 14.87mm in length and 8.08mm in total width. A patch of light discolouration halfway down the bar and the outside edge may have been the site of the now missing pin and its rest. The patina is dark green, and there appears to be no decoration on the entire buckle. The buckle weighs 0.43g.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete copper-alloy polyhedral-headed pin of Early-Medieval date (AD 410-1066). The head measures 4.1mm wide on each side and is formed from a cuboid with its corners cut off. Each face is decorated by a single punched ring-and-dot, except for the face from which the shank extends (which is undecorated). Aside from the ring-and-dots, there is no other decoration on the pin. There is also no collar between the head and the shaft of the pin, instead the head connects to the shaft, which tapers after one bend to a point. Only a few small patches of original dark green patina survives…

An incomplete copper-alloy early early-medieval buckle plate, dating to the period c.AD 500-600.
