Description: | Copper-alloy composite strap end with a forked spacer. The terminal end is adorned with an acorn shaped knop. The strap end measures 55 mm long, although one of the forks of the spacer is broken part way up, and the artefact measures only 42 mm on this side. The strap end is 21 mm wide. The strap end would originally have had plates attached to the forked spacer, but these are now missing. It is medieval and dates from around 1350 to 1450. It is similar in style to examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 94, figures 673 and 684).
