A copper alloy Early Medieval starp end fragment. It consists of an animal head terminal, with a straight edge representing the snout, and two circular eyes above. The strap end has convex sides, but is incomplete due to old breaks, and so its split terminal is missing. The panel beyond the zoomorphic face has narrow, beaded borders and a central area which is worn but bears traces of animal interlace pattern. There are also traces of silvering and possibly niello. The fragment measures 30.91mm in surviving length and is 6.39mm in width across the snout, and 12.45mm at the broken edge…

A Medieval copper alloy strap end. It is a composite strap end with a front plate, sheet spacer, and only a small part of the back plate surviving, the rest missing due to old breaks. There is a terminal knop at the lower terminal. The shape of the attachment terminal cannot be determined as it has been broken off leaving a straight edge. The strap end has much surface corrosion which obscures any decoration and trace of rivets. The object measures 28.51mm in surviving length, 9.00mm in width, and weighs 1.81g.

A copper alloy Medieval strap end. It is a composite, tapering rectangular strap-end with openwork decoration in the form of a circular perforation on one plate, and an incomplete trefoil on the other. The attachment edge is scalloped and there is a single central rivet in situ close to the edge. The back and front plates taper toward the lower terminal which is incomplete. There is a flat disc, bent up at right angles (most likely due to plough action)which has a broken flat edge, and the underside of this is recessed. It would presumably have joined a similar disc from the other plat…
