Copper alloy strap end fragment. One sheet of an assembled strap end, some remains of rocked tracer decoration, worn. An illustration shows an openwork post-medieval mount. A copy of the source record card is omitted from the accompanying scanned series and notes on that record state a numbering error is likely. Suggested date: Unknown, Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1650 Length: 22mm, Width: 10.9mm, Thickness: 1.6mm, Weight: 1.66gms

Copper alloy strap end. A cast button knop is set at the end of two split sheets at the butt end. The form of the object is also very similar to that of a massy ball-ended late medieval or early post-medieval strap end, though the source record here asserts a Middle Saxon date. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Early Post-Medieval, 800-1650 Length: 18.8mm, Width: 9.4mm, Thickness: 8.8mm, Weight: 4.17gms

An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly an early medieval strap end dating to circa AD 1000-1100. The object is sub-rectangular and broken at one end. The object has two main parts: the widest end is thinner and rectangular (10.91 mm in length, 7.66 mm in width and 2.40 mm thick) and has a circular perforation. Below this flatter plate is a thicker rectangular portion (4.39 mm thick); it is concave on the decorated side and convex on the reverse, tapering to a broken point. The thicker portion is very worn and corroded, only traces of&n…

Copper-alloy strap-end of unusual form. It consists of a rounded or heart-shaped plate which is split for almost all its length to hold the strap. One half is missing (old break) but the other, probably the front, survives complete. It has low-relief openwork decoration with minute traces of gilding in the recesses. The design is symmetrical, with an outer frame containing six central rounded lobes (two vertical rows of three each). The central lobes each have a pair of tendrils or spokes emerging from them to join the outer frame, forming three holes down either side. The top pair ma…

Copper alloy possible strap end fragment. Cast straight-sided strip, apparently broken across a fixing hole of diameter 2.5mm at either end, and with incised or creased lines on its more uneven side. Early strap ends could be very slipshod or improvised in construction, probably reusing older scraps of metal. Their identification as such is often only possible through thorough recording of a grave and its contents. In the absence of this record, a function as a mount fragment must also be considered, along with a broader date range. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval,…

A copper alloy sheet fitting, possibly a strap end or plate for a folding strap clasp, of Medieval or possibly Early Medieval date. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy, just starting to bend back on itself at one end where it would have been wrapped round the bar of the clasp frame, or folded round the strap. At the other end is a single central copper alloy rivet. The sheet has a grey green patina. It is 15.7mm long, 11.8mm wide and 2.4mm thick across the rivet. 0.84g. SOM-564945 is a broadly similar object and notes that Egan and Pritchard (1993:159) …

An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end of uncertain Early-Medieval to Medieval date. Only the terminal end survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The surviving fragment is flat, triangular in form, and tapers to a pointed tip. The front face has incised decoration. This comprises double vertical grooves along each edge of the plate, truncated at the terminal end by at least two transverse grooves. At the centre of the plate between the double borders are the remains of double wavy or zig-zag lines with a vertial row of punched dots between them, possibly the remnant…

Copper alloy possible strap end, as identified by the finder. Sheet metal, cut to an elongated oval shape; now split at its narrower end. This object is reminiscent of the form of Middle Saxon strap ends, but might equally be a component of a composite version in sheet metal from any later period. Suggested date: Unknown, 750-1500.

A cast copper alloy object, possibly an Anglo-Saxon strap end dating to the Early Medieval period. The strap end is sub-triangular in plan and consists of a moulded decorative end, which could be zoomorphic, with an elongated snout and protruding eyes; following the moulded end, there is a narrowed 'neck' and two sets of symmetrically-positioned protruding knops at either side, possibly indicating legs or feet. The rest of the strap end is flat and sub-rectangular in plan, with a circular rivet hole positioned centrally. There is no further decoration or inlay and the metal is of an e…
