Description: | The copper-alloy spacer plate from a composite strap end, with a collared knop in the shape of a very stylised acorn. The spacer plate consists of a closed circular loop at the terminal end, and a pair of flaring arms forming a fork at the attachment end. Neither of the outer plates which would have originally completed the strap end survives. Similar examples excavated in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos.648-652) come from 14th- or early 15th-century contexts. | 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: | 1300
