Description: | Cast copper alloy forked spacer from a composite strap-end with curved tapering arms and a semi-cylindrical knop. Length 37.5mm, maximum width 18mm, width of knop 12mm, weight 3.3 grams. Studies from London suggest that composite strap-ends with forked spacers are a type which was apparently not introduced prior to the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 145). Following their introduction the type was used throughout the remainder of the Middle Ages and possibly later. A medieval date for this example is probable. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1250 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
