Description: | A copper alloy forked spacer from a composite strap end, dating to the Medieval period (circa 14th Century). This artefact has the typical shape of a Medieval forked spacer from a composite strap end. This example is very similar to 651 in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, pp140-142, however this spacer does not have the acorn design seen on the published example. This artefact consists of a two pronged fork spacer plate and a short decorative terminal extending from the fork. The artefact is free from decoration but it is very worn. This example have been broken, neither prong is full length and one is shorter than the other. Overall the object measures 26.06mm (length), 16.9mm (width) and 2.29mm (thickness of the prongs). The breaks are well worn. | Subjects: | forked spacer Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
