Medieval copper alloy strap-end of 13th to 15th century date The strap-end is of riveted, double sheet-metal type, without a spacer and is fragmentary, missing the attachment end and the break appears to have occurred relatively recently (with a surviving length of 21.4mm, a thickness of 1.7mm and a weight of 1.5g). At the break (with a width of 9.2mm), the sheet plate (with a thickness of 0.5mm) has distorted. The sides of the surviving part are straight and slightly convergent towards the terminal. The terminal is of trefoil form (with a length of 7.8mm). The two plates are sec…

The missing back-plate was secured with four separate rivets, which remain in place. The rear of the crescent is recessed to accommodate the strap. The strap-end has a sub-oval aperture (17.1mm wide), open at the top. The crescentic area (with a maximum width of 31.0mm) has geometric incised decoration, probably letters for a brief inscription i…

Description A copper alloy fitting of likely Medieval date (c. AD 1240-1450). The object is semi-conical in plan with one straight edge and the other curving to a rounded point with a single central rivet at the straight end. The surface is corroded so detail is uncertain, but the reverse has traces of a grooved border and appears tinned to a silvery sheen, so this may have been originally duplicated on the obverse. The metal is an uneven mid-green patina with areas of silver colour on one side. The object is likely a plate from a composite strap end with the other plate an…

The single sheet is plain, undecorated, rectangular in plan and broken at the fold with surviving dimensions of length of 29.7mm, 9.9mm wide and 0.6mm thick. A single central rivet perforates the end of the plate, the rivet still in situ with a distorted depth of 2.7mm. The object appears to have been bent in two places along its length, probably due to later activity, and surface corrosion has affected these areas. The strap end is smooth with a medium green patina and weighs 1.34g.

Near-complete Late Anglo Saxon stirrup strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The stirrup is unusual with a beast's head protruding downwards from the base of the mount (23mm deep). One other example with a protruding head has been recorded from Stoke Hammond, Bucks (Williams D., 1997, no. 383, p84). Features on the head are now difficult to discern, but the cast decoration appears to depict a snarling snout with four sharp teeth protruding from the underside. The panel is concave with a surviving height of 32.4mm and parallel sides with a width of 32.6mm. The panel is decorated …

Late Saxon copper alloy stirrup strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The mount is of Williams (1997) Class B and likely to be of type 3, and possibly Group 4.

The mount is trapezoidal with a height of 35.7mm and a maximum width at the top of 30.5mm (minimum width at the flange of 24.0mm). The openwork decoration along the sides has broken through at the edges. The flange is angled (Williams Type C) and has the remnants of two iron rivets in situ. Two further attachm…

Complete Late Saxon cast copper alloy stirrup-strap mount, of class A, type 7 (Williams 1997), probably dating from 11th to 12th century. The mount is sub-triangular in shape with two pairs of lugs on the sides. The apex is rounded and pointed, and has suffered from erosion. These terminals typically incorporate a zoomorphic design, and a number of low ridges visible on the terminal are likely to be the remnants of facial features. Below the upper fixing hole, the raised border defining the sides, flare out forming scrolls. The interior of the mount displays the characteristic central…

Late Anglo Saxon stirrup-strap mount, probably of 11th century date. The stirrup mount is copper alloy with a zoomorphic design. It has only one perforation through its upper apex, and in this respect, is unusual. While the mount could still be attached as a stirrup mount, it would be unstable, and may not have utilised a fitting behind the stirrup strap. The piece has a pentagonal design with the upper end rising in a sharp curve to a point, which surrounds the perforation. The bottom flange is narrow and at a right angle to the body of the mount - type A (Williams 1997). The design …
