Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end with forked spacer dating to the Medieval period. The strap end is of composite type with a forked spacer, though is missing both its front and back plates. The strap end terminates with a moulded collared knop. It is similar to a number of examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' (1991), page 144, plate 94. These were introduced in the late 13th to early 14th century and continued in use until the early 15th century, but are generally considered to be a 14th century type (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 145). The object has been damaged and has a light green patina.
