NHER 33484 (Find Spot record) - Medieval to post medieval finds

January 1998. Metal-detecting. [1].
Complete length 50mm medieval copper alloy composite strap-end, made from a spacer plate between top and bottom plates. At the terminal, a narrow neck ends in a knop formed from all three plates plus a fourth with relief decoration of an animal head. This is rather schematic and actually looks rather like a leaf drilled with two holes for eyes. A groove has been filed around to make the jaws look open. 14th century.
Decorated fragment from a larger object. A curving copper alloy rod supporting stems of two trefoil leaves each with an incised cross on one side and a relief 3 pronged motif on the other, arranged so that the object has one of each motif on either face. Hard to parallel, but black lacquer coating must date it to late medieval/early post medieval.
