Medieval gilt copper alloy strap-end formed from one piece of sheet. The front part, almost semicircular but with very short straight sides, is decorated with an engraved wavy contour line, while the reverse is rectangular and 8mm shorter than the front. A convex-headed rivet near the centre of the front would have been attached only to the strap. Weight 1.35g. Length 12mm. Width 22.9mm. 13th - 14th century.
Other examples in different forms, but broadly comparable in being formed from one sheet and having much shorter rear parts, include NMS-A38BAD, NMS-92B185, NMS-383…

Rectangular fragment of sheet copper alloy cut down for some unknown purpose from the front plate of a medieval tongue-shaped strap-end, with part of the attachment edge and part of one side extant. The present other side and other edge are quite straight and the result of careful chopping. Two original rivet holes (one partly chopped away) lie near the attachment edge. Between them a smaller hole has been knocked through from the front and elsewhere two larger holes have been driven from the reverse. Engraved and punched decoration between the two surviving contour…

Fragment of a Middle or Late Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas' (2000) Class A, Type 5a. Probably only as much fifty per cent or less survives. The attachment end is extant, while the terminal end is lost to a worn curved transverse break. The end is split but joined by two rivets side by side, each with a circular domed head. The strap end has scalloped edges: three surviving lobes on each side and two at the end.
The front is decorated with incised grooves and a silver and niello coating or inlay. Beneath the rivets there is a semi-circular or fan-shaped groove …

Medieval copper alloy strap-end formed from two tongue-shaped plates of sheet, secured by a single rivet near the attachment edge and by solder towards the distorted outside edge.

Complete medieval copper alloy strap-end formed from two plates of sheet. There are three V-shaped notches in both sheets at the attachment edge and the sides taper towards the angled outside edge. The strap would have been secured to the plates by two rivets. Both faces are quite well covered by white-metal coating. This may explain why there is no visible evidence for any other rivets near the outside edge, but it quite probable that solder was employed. On both faces both sides are followed by lines of finely executed interrupted rocker-arm engraving giving the appearance of tiny a…

Middle Saxon to Late Saxon copper alloy strap-end of Thomas 2003 Class A, Type 4. There are two notches on the attachment edge near the single rivet, and a row of notches running along both sides in parallel with an engraved line down to the ears of the animal-head terminal. A debased version of the normal trilobe in a fan-shaped field is engraved below the rivet on the front of the split end. In the centre a roughly rectangular cell is filled with dull, off-white material which is more likely to be decayed enamel than niello. The animal head is extremely stylised, the snout being a t…

Middle or Late Saxon copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas's Class A, Type 5. At the top, the split end is broken across one of the two rivet-holes, both copper-alloy rivets survive (one is loose), one of two notches remains in the split end between them. Grooves separate two vertically arranged panels between two flanking panels, some with traces of niello and siver wire inlay. Below, an animal-head terminal has oval ears with traces of inlay, also present on a panel occupying the forehead and blunt-ended snout of the animal-head. On the reverse, there is a dark shiny patina which has wor…

Incomplete and slightly bent Late Saxon copper alloy tongue-shaped strap-end, the central and lower parts only, with suggestions of a missing small knop at the outside edge. The breaks are old. Thomas 2004 Class E, Type uncertain. On the front face, which is without moulded decoration and quite flat, seven surviving round apertures and parts of two others are disposed asymmetrically within an engraved contour line, and punched annulets are spread around in the intervening spaces.

Medieval gilt copper alloy strap-end formed from a trapezoidal sheet folded widthways and secured with a convex-headed rivet. An engraved contour line on the front part keeps back c.3.5mm from the fold. Length 18mm. Width at attachment edge 15.5mm, at the fold 11mm. The rear part is incomplete, with a break across the rivet hole, at which point the width has reduced to 7.5mm. The strap must have been thin, the gap within the fold being c.1mm. 13th - 14th century.

Two joining fragments of a copper alloy sheet object, broken at both ends (breaks not recent), with straight sides tapering from one end to the other. Engraved decoration on one face comprises two longitudinal lines running parallel with the edges and flanking a zig-zag line within which alternate triangles are filled with lines of very small punched dots. Perhaps part of an outer plate from a medieval composite strap end, the zig-zag being a motif sometimes encountered on such objects. Extant length 38mm. Width 17.7 - 18.5mm. 14th century.

Incomplete medieval copper alloy rectangular strap end, hollow cast and of exceptional form, with an open-sided slot for the strap. Much of the flat reverse is missing (an old break). The distorted attachment edge is scalloped and pierced by five holes, two of which contain globular headed rivets. The surface between and around the holes is decorated closely spaced engraved or punched chevrons, some set in herringbone fashion. The main part of the front face is taken up by three rounded transverse mouldings running the full width, hollow on the underside and by three sha…
