A two-piece, sheet copper-alloy medieval strap end. Description: The strap end is octagonal in shape and consists of two sheet copper-alloy plates. The front plate has bent sides and fits snugly against the flat back plate creating a hollow interior. Where the two lower edges of the plates meet in a point, there is a gap in the bent sides of the front plate, 14.5mm wide. This provides an opening to the hollow interior where the strap would have fit between the plates. There are two, circular copper-alloy rivets, one at the attachment end and one in the centre of the plates, to se…

A cast lead or lead-alloy strap end of early-medieval date. Description: The strap end is tongue-shaped with a rounded terminal and a straight edge at the attachment end. The attachment end is split to allow a strap to fit inside but the two sides are now squashed together. There are two rivet holes at the attachment end, each with a lead rivet still in-situ. The ends of the rivets have been flattened on the front of the strap end to secure them. On the back, the ends of the rivets are missing and just the two, circular rivet holes can be seen. Below the rivets, across the widt…

A medieval, cast copper-alloy strap end. Description: The strap end is constructed from two cast copper-alloy plates, soldered together at the closed end. Both pieces have snapped off just above where the plates thin to allow the strap to fit between them, and the open end, probably with a seperate spacer, is missing. The main part of the strap end is sub-rectangular in plan, but at the closed end it has a narrowed neck and then a decorative collared terminal which is shaped like a fleur-de-lis or trefoil.

A cast copper-alloy strap-end, dating to the medieval period (c.AD 1050 - 1400). The strap end has a solid, sub-spherical terminal from which extends an integrally-cast rectangular bar which then splits into two sub-rectangular plates to hold the strap. These plates are joined at the attachment end by an in-situ copper alloy rivet with flattened, circular heads. The terminal has a diameter varying between 14.9mm and 16.1mm, while the bar and attachment plates are c.12mm long and a maximum of 5.94mm wide and 4.32mm thick. In total the strap end is 26.47mm long and weighs 8.21g.

An incomplete, copper-alloy, two-piece strap end dating from the medieval period. The upper and lower plates are sub-trapezoidal in plan, both terminating in three points in a zigzag pattern with a drilled rivet hole and intact copper-alloy rivet just behind the central point. The opposite end is broken across with a section missing. Sandwiched between the two plates is a surviving piece of the original leather strap. Strap ends with similar two-piece construction can be seen on pages 142-143 of Egan and Pritchard (2002).

An unusual, cast copper-alloy strap end probably dating to the Medieval period. The strap end is cast in one piece and comprises a shield-shaped attachment plate with a cross- or sword-shaped terminal emanating from the pointed apex of the shield-shaped plate. The shield-shaped plate is cast with a hollow reverse to accomodate the strap and is drilled with two, circular rivet holes, one above the other along the centre line. The upper hole has lost its rivet but the lower, copper-alloy rivet remains in-situ, where it also passes through the remains of a sheet copper-alloy back plate. …

A Medieval, copper-alloy, zoomorphic strap-end. It has a cast front plate and a sheet back plate. The strap-end has been broken across the two plates and much of the attachment end has been lost. The remainder of the plates narrow towards the closed end before flaring out slightly into a zoomorphic knop. The head of the animal is outlined on the upper plate only by incised lines creating ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Behind the head, after the narrowed "neck" is a further incised zig-zag decoration on the upper plate, possibly representing scales or hair. There is a single, remaining ri…
