A damaged cast lead strap end of Early Medieval or Medieval date, about AD 850 - 1100, probably of Thomas Class E, and most likely to be type 4.

Lead possible strap end fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. Cast straight-sided strip with a small rounded projection at its [presumed] inner end. A pair of drilled holes of diameter 2mm near the end may have served for stitched attachment. A moulded border which follows the edge of the plate, and a slight constriction with a broad moulded band carried diagonally across it may be relicts of a decorative scheme. The back is plain. This might be an example of lead dress fittings of the later Early Medieval period if the paired attachment holes are indeed correctly recognised, b…

Lead strap end. A cast rectangular plate with a split inner end where a pair of lead rivets of diameter 3.4mm and length 5.8mm pass through both leaves of the plate, being burred behind. The riveted end is divided from the rest of the plate by a beaded border which encloses a symmetrical figurative motif. The scene resembles a pair of draped Victories facing each other with a tall trophy between them, and, if this reading is sustained, it must be drawn from a later Roman coin. The back is entirely plain. Despite its straight outer end, this object presumably derives from Thomas's clas…

An incomplete medieval cast, lead strap end consisting of two parts - the front and reverse. Circular in form and rectangular in cross-section with an expanded pointed apex and decorated with open work of 6 roundels or collets: 3 of which are ornamented with a crisscross pattern forming lozenge shaped motifs; 2 have a scooped internal surface; and the remaining is riveted. Surrounding the roundels is a circular frame carrying lozenge motifs giving the appearance of rope. In the centre is an aperture which probably once contained a rivet for attachment. The reverse has a soldered circu…

A broken lead strap-end dating to the late early-medieval period (c. AD 900-1100; Thomas' Class E). The strap-end is broken roughly half way along but the two conjoining pieces form a tongue-shaped plate with slightly expanding sides. The squared-off end has two small circular perforations, while the other end is rounded. The upper surface has a series of scratches that might resemble some sort of decoration but nothing substantial enough to identify it as one of Thomas' Types. The underside of the plate is slightly hollowed with other minor incisions and abrasions. The strap-e…

A late Saxon lead strap-end of Thomas Type A (circa 800-900). The strap-end is tongue-shaped, though most of the surface is worn. Two irregular rivet holes are located at the attachment end; this end is wedge-shaped in section rather than being split into two plates. The main body of the strap-end is slightly raised and appears to bear a decoration, though this is too worn to determine. The terminal tapers to a narrow animal-head; two curved lines are visible, representing the eyebrows or ears of the beast. Lead strap-ends of this type are unusual; a parallel comes from 'near Driff…
