Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy central section forked spacer from a composite three piece strap end, dating to the Medieval period between AD 1350 - 1450 (length: 30.5mm; width: 17mm; thickness at knop terminal: 5mm; weight: 2.36g).This strap end forked spacer has two incomplete prongs to either side (one more complete than the other). The prongs come together and narrow to form a collar and acorn-type terminal. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition with some of the original dark green patina remaining.Similar examples are illustrated in Egan, G & Pritchard, F, 2002, 'Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450', pages 143-4, ref no 673.
