Cast copper-alloy strap-end. Late Anglo-Saxon, c. 10th -11th century. Mass: 10.4g. Length: 52.6mm; width: 17.2mm; thickness: 4.3mm. Tongue shaped, with an incomplete attachment end. The plate is decorated on one side with a degenerate Winchester style motif formed of a series of reserved cells creating a symmetrical plant scroll motif. The strap-end has a pitted green surface, with brown adhesions (particularly in the recesses), probably gained from its time in the ground. Thomas Class E, Type 1 (2004, p. 1-2).

Cast copper-alloy strap-end. Early Medieval (c.8th-10th C). Mass: 2.7g; length: 41.0 mm; width: 9.5 mm; thickness of plate at the centre: 1.7mm. The strap-end has an incomplete split end at the top, a convex-sided plate and a zoomorphic terminal. The front of the plate is decorated with a simple design, which is now rather unclear due to corrosion, although there is a semi-circle at the top. This is a Thomas Class A strap-end (see Late Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age Strap Ends 750-1100, Part I, 2003, p.2). Thomas comments that the chronological limits of the class probably lie either side…

Cast copper-alloy strap end, probably late Early-Medieval or early Medieval. Mass: 4.8g; width: 19.5mm; length: 21.2mm; thickness: 3.6mm. The strap end has a split end at the top, with two copper-alloy rivets which would have secured the strap. There are two curved projections towards the bottom of the tapering plate. One is incomplete. The plate may be broken at the bottom, but this is unclear. On the front of the plate, between the projections, there is a recessed dot within two concentric rings.

Cast copper-alloy strap end of Late Early Medieval dating (AD 1030 to AD 1100). Mass: 11g, length: 54.5mm, width: 20.0mm, depth: 9.5mm. The object has a broadly flat ?zoomorphic lobed terminal, decorated with incised grooves on the front, adjoining a moulding with a flaring pierced projection at right angles to the plane of the terminal. There is also the stub of a broken second, parallel, projection, with a slot between the two. Perhaps a tang or a similarly slim attachment was held between projections within the slot, secured by a ?rivet, cf. SF-E825A7.

Cast copper-alloy strap-end. Early Medieval (c.9th C). Mass: 8.0g; length: 51.5mm; width: 14.7mm. The strap-end has a slightly incomplete split end at the top, a convex-sided plate and a prominent zoomorphic terminal. There are two copper-alloy rivets to hold the strap at the top of the split end. There are two further rivets in a vertical line in the split end. These secure the rear section of the split end, in which there is a clear break - so the strap end was repaired. The median section of the plate is decorated with two animals facing upwards, one to either side, and there is pa…

Cast copper-alloy strap-end. Early Medieval (c.8th-10th C). Mass: 2.2g; length: 37.1mm; width: 11.8mm; thickness of plate at the centre: 1.5mm. The strap-end has an incomplete split end at the top, a convex-sided plate and a zoomorphic terminal (which is bent slightly backwards). The front of the plate is decorated with a simple design within a border, which are recessed and traces of a white metal inlay, probably silver, remain. The object has a green patina in parts, although this has been lost on much of the strap-end, leaving a dull pitted surface. This is a Thomas Class A strap-e…

Cast copper-alloy object, probably a medieval strap-end. Mass: 3.3g. Length: 56.6mm; width across the split end: 5.6mm; depth (from front to reverse of of rivets): 7.3mm. In plan and profile, the object tapers to a point at one end. At the other end there is a split-end with an iron rivet running from front to reverse. In plan, the object curves slightly towards the point. The object has a D-shaped cross-section. The surface is corroded, but there appear to be two transverse ribs on the wider (?upper) portion of the curved (?front) of the object. The object has a pitted brown su…

The object has a rectangular sectioned opening at one end within which there is a brown/black solid material, probably the remains of a leather or textile strap. Near to the opening there are the remains of two rivets within holes on the front and reverse. In plan and in profile, the edges of the object taper from the opening at one end to a narrower waist near to the other end. The terminal at this end projects beyond the waist but the sides are abraded an…

An incomplete medieval copper alloy composite strap-end. The strap-end consists of two sheets of copper alloy with a thicker sheet copper-alloy spacer between. In plan, the strap end is sub-rectangular, tapering slightly towards the elaboarate cruciform terminal. The strap end is 45.7mm long, 8.2mm wide at the top, and 2.5mm thick. It has a mass of 5.4g. The thinner external sheeting is broken at the top. The top of the spacer has a smooth flat surface and appears to be complete. There is a rivet in the upper portion of the strap-end, and probably one in the lower portion of the s…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy early medieval strap end. The strap end consists of a broken split end at the top and a convex sided plate with a zoomorphic terminal at the bottom. The front section of the split end is more complete than the rear section. It contains two offset but broadly horizontally aligned rivet holes which would have originally secured the strap. The plate has an essentially flat median section, whereas the zoomorphic terminal is in slight relief. On the front there is a curved groove below the rivet holes. There is a curved (convex) border near to both of the lo…

A cast copper-alloy early medieval strap-end. The strap end consists of a split-end at the top and a convex sided plate with a broadly flat bottom. It is likely that the plate is broken at the bottom, and that a zoomorphic terminal is missing (discussed further below). The split end, which flares out in profile, contains two horizontally aligned rivet holes, with two rivets still in place. These rivets would have originally secured the strap within the split-end. Below the split-end the plate is essentially flat with incised decoration on both sides. On one side (hereafter referred to…
