Description: | A forked spacer from a circular composite strap-end of medieval date. Cast in copper-alloy, the object is consists of a circle with a flaring upper part and a stylised acorn collared knop at the lower end. The circle's central perforation is quite crude and not quite circular. The artefact is worn and has lost one of its flaring projections as a result of old damage. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 140-141; fig. 92). Further, a parallel, though more complete find, can be seen on this database, ref.
