Description: | Two medieval copper alloy forked spacers from composite Tongue-shaped strap ends, both incomplete. Forked spacer to left in image : it appears to be complete in its length (36.5mm) though missing one arm. The terminal is of the collared-knop acorn type (Egan 1991 p.143) and the internal side of the surviving arm seems to be stepped and curved, perhaps suggesting the strap end was partly circular, or maybe this is just wear. The forked spacer to the right in the image is larger and more chunky than the previous forked spacer. Its surviving arm is bent almost at 90 degrees and possibly missing its end. The other arm is mostly missing. The terminal is also a collared-knop acorn type. Estimated unbent length 53mm. Cf Egan 1991 fig.94 no.675 for a similar terminal. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
