Description: | A cast copper alloy decorative knop terminal, possibly from a strap fitting or similar object. The fitting is shaped like an acorn with a collar around the base. At this point it has broken off of a much large object, the break is well worn. The acorn part of the object has been decorated with cross-hatched lines. The metal is a dark greyish-green colour and is pitted. This type of buckle dates from circa 1250 - 1400, but it could be post-medieval. An exact parallel could not be found in the normal literature.
