There is a narrow pin bar flanked by raised bars on the front and back which the plates would have abutted. The forked spacers have a slot between them the width of the pin bar, they step inwards on the inner sides after 9.4mm creating narrower prongs which taper gradually to sharp points they are 14.3mm long measured to the thickened bars by the frame. The frame is a dark greyish-green colour . It measures 31.8mm long in total, 22.9mm wide, 3.5mm thick and it weighs 4.18 grams.See Egan and Pritchard (1991), p.78-9, fig.48 for similar examples, which they date to the second half of the 14th century to early 15th century (c. 1350-1450 AD).
