An incomplete copper alloy strap end dating from the Early Medieval period, in the 9th century AD. Although in one piece, the strap end has two distinct parts: the strap attachment plate, and a long tapering shaft. The split-end strap attachment plate is trapezoidal in plan (being 15mm long and its width tapering from 10mm at the split end to 7mm where it joins to the shaft), and wedge-shaped in profile. Near its widest point are two rivet holes, with rivets still in place. There remains some organic material within the split, but it has mostly disintegrated, allowing the sh…

An incomplete copper alloy Medieval strap end, dating from about AD 1200 - 1500. Only one sheet of the strap end survives. It would have had a sheet spacer and a second plate as well, or perhaps just a second plate. It is rectangular in plan, with rounded shoulders at the closed end, flanking a cast knob perhaps in the form of an acorn. The knop is thicker than the plate. There is no evidence of rivets. The attachment end is incomplete. The strap end is 28.5mm long, 11.5mm wide and 1.9mm thick. 1.2g. Compare various types in Egan and Pritchard (1991).
