Copper alloy strap end. A strap end of composite construction with two plates of thickness 0.9 and 0.4mm with a central probably forked spacer plate between them whose tip projects at the outer ogival end. The inner end is lightly engrailed. A rivet of diameter 1.7mm passes through the inner end to attach the plates to each other and the strap. A woven fabric strap remains preserved between the plates – the finder kindly notes he had kept the object wet to preserve what was at first thought to be a leather strap, as the find-spot was also damp. The use of a textile strap may deno…

An incomplete Early Medieval copper alloy split ended probable strap end, dating to c AD 750-950. Probably Thomas Class A. The find is sub rectangular with the outer edges of a narrowed and recessed split end having two semi circular projections, one above the other. But there is also early damage and it is unclear whether the recesses were intended or part of that damage. At what would be the other, wider, end there also seems to be a break, suggesting a missing section.  The long edges are scalloped, with a dot in each lobe.…
