Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy strap-end probably of medieval date (c. 13th-15th century). It is formed of a copper-alloy sheet folded widthways; it has been slightly compressed and angled at the fold. The corners are also angled off at the fold. At the attachment end is a separate rivet, set centrally, to connect the two halves. Plain on the reverse, the front of the strap-end is decorated with a pair of transverse lines towards the attachment end, these overlain by an engraved cross in saltire. Such decoration appears to have been produced before perforation for riveting as the rivet interrupts it. …

A slightly abraded but virtually complete early-medieval copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas's Class B, Type 1. The split attachment end is wedge-shaped with a double perforation at the incurved attachment end. The corroded remains of iron rivets survive in situ in the holes.
The attachment end is defined by a pair of engraved transverse grooves on the front, which are echoed by a pair before the terminal. The strap-end tapers gradually between the two sets of grooves; the terminal is slightly expanded. The front of the object is otherwise undecorated, and the rounded terminal is no…

An early-medieval copper-alloy strap-end, classified as Thomas's (2003, 2) Class A, Type 2 (probably geometric style), surviving well. This would date the artefact to around the 9th century AD.
The strap-end is flat in profile. The plate widens very slightly from the attachment end to a widest point at around the mid-point of the plate, not including the terminal; it can be described as shallowly convex, or bowed. This latter is an integral animal head. The split end has been bent down slightly, with the lower split part bent down slightly more besides. It is slightly abraded, and …

An early-medieval copper-alloy strap-end, tentatively classified as Thomas's (2003, 4) Class A, Type 4 (with enamel). This would date the artefact to around the 9th century.
The strap-end is of unusual form and construction, and therefore of note. It has curvilinear sides with their widest point around the centre of the main plate. It terminates in a devolved animal head decorated simply with a transverse ridge at the plate end. The plate is formed of conjoined cells of elongated scrolled C shape. There are two larger such cells that abut back-to-back at the terminal, above which t…

A fragment from the attachment end of a copper-alloy late Roman artefact known as a 'nail-cleaner strap-end'; it could have been either or both. The fragment tapers from a flat attachment end to a waist with a pair of out-turned crescentic lugs back-to-back. This trapezoidal terminal is bevelled along its long edges on its front; bevelling continues around the lugs and beyond. The object has been broken directly below the lugs following old damage. Where the lugs meet the body of the object lines have been engraved for emphasis on the front. The reverse is flat and plain. There is a r…

A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-end made of a single strip folded in half widthways. In shape it is a simple rectangular with rounded corners; some of the rounding may be from wear. There is a separate single rivet abutting the attachment end, placed centrally. The object has a dark-green patina for the most part; the corroded metal below is lighter and duller. One of the corners of the attachment end has been pushed forwards slightly following old damage. More refined versions of this type of strap-end had triangular side strips, though none are readily apparent here.

A copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end of elaborate form (c. 14th century AD). It is of composite, three-piece construction, formed of a sheet spacer plate occupying the whole width, between a pair of sheets. The sheets are reminiscent of the more elaborate of the shield-shaped plates that tend to have bar mounts at the attachment edge illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 157; fig. 103). They are flat at the attachment end with a central perforation; on one of the sheets the rivet is retained; the other sheet has buckled out at the rivet no longer meets it. At the centre …
